Kanyakumari 1975 PPC Cover: A Place in Your Vivekananda Collection
A Swami Vivekananda collection does not have to begin and end with stamps bearing his portrait. An illustrated postal cover can bring a place associated with him into the collection, giving the subject a different setting.
Bharat Exotics lists a Kanyakumari inauguration-day permanent pictorial cancellation cover dated 21 November 1975. Its description identifies Swami Vivekananda in the cover design and connects him with meditation at Kanyakumari. For a collector following Vivekananda, Indian places or illustrated covers, that combination offers a focused addition rather than another unrelated envelope.

Why this cover belongs in a subject-led collection
The collecting appeal is the relationship between a person and a place. Here, the cover illustration supplies the Vivekananda subject, while the listed Kanyakumari cancellation supplies the geographical connection.
This makes the item relevant even if your collection is organised around ideas and associations rather than only the person pictured on an adhesive stamp. You could choose it for:
- A Vivekananda section that includes illustrated postal material.
- A Kanyakumari collection built around place-specific items.
- A study of how Indian covers connect personalities with locations.
Choose the connection that matters to you. The cover need not fit all three projects to earn a clear place in one collection.
What the listing tells you
The date identifies the listed cancellation occasion
The product is described as an inauguration-day permanent pictorial cancellation cover dated 21-11-1975. Read that as the seller’s identification of this postal collectible—not as a date for the meditation associated with Vivekananda.
Keeping those two stories separate makes the item easier to understand: the historical association explains the subject, while the dated cancellation identifies the collecting occasion.
Vivekananda appears in the cover design
The description specifically says the cover design shows Swami Vivekananda. That is different from saying that every stamp on the envelope depicts him. When comparing this item with a portrait stamp, remember that the thematic link can come from the envelope illustration itself.
Condition is described by the seller
The listing describes a “perfect cancellation” and an “excellent condition cover.” Review the existing product photograph alongside those statements. If a detail matters to your purchase, ask for clarification or a closer photograph rather than treating a short description as a complete condition report.
Decide whether it fills the right gap
Before ordering, identify the role this cover would play in your collection. If you already own Vivekananda portrait stamps, a place-linked cover can broaden the subject without requiring another similar portrait issue. If you collect Kanyakumari, the Vivekananda illustration gives this particular item a recognisable thematic focus.
For a display, a simple heading such as “Swami Vivekananda — Kanyakumari association” would explain why you selected it. Keep the cancellation date in a separate caption so visitors can distinguish the postal date from the story represented.
Buying this Kanyakumari cover
The listed price is ₹1,550, with one unit recorded in inventory when checked for this draft. Availability and pricing should be confirmed on the live product page when ordering.
Review the full cover rather than judging it only by the stamp or portrait detail. Look at the illustration, cancellation legibility and visible envelope condition together. If the reverse or a particular corner is important to you, request that view before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to collect Vivekananda portrait stamps to appreciate this cover?
No. The listing places Vivekananda in the cover illustration, so the item can suit a collection built around his associations as well as one focused on portrait stamps.
Does 21 November 1975 date the event shown in the illustration?
The listing identifies it as the cover’s inauguration-day pictorial cancellation date. It should not be presented as the date of Vivekananda’s meditation at Kanyakumari.
Why does the product URL mention Charminar?
The store uses a legacy product handle. The current listing title and description identify the offered item as the Kanyakumari cover dated 21 November 1975. Check those details and the product photograph together when ordering.
Can I request another view before buying?
You can ask Bharat Exotics for a closer photograph or reverse-side view if needed. Confirm what additional images are available before placing your order.
