It would not be possible to find a card more “domestic” than this from India. We’re not certain which deity this is. The card was mailed probably in 1969 or so, with two stamps and partial postmark. The message area is pre-printed in one of the Indian languages, maybe Hindi. Many abrasions and degradations on a low-quality but highly atmospheric card. Hard to grade, but – Grade: 3
