India: Postcrossing Meetup, Manipal
This is a Tulunadpex 2017( Regional level Stamp Exhibition) meetup card. Even I was a part of it. The postmark on the front is that of Kaup lighthouse and was introduced on 20.08.2017 during this event. This permanent postmark is available at Kaup postoffice. This lighthouse is located on rocks of Kaup beach about 20 kms from Udupi. It was built in 1901 and is 27.12 meters tall. It is a Masonary structure and was built by British. The postmark on the reverse side is that of Philatelic Bureau, Mangalore, depicting an old lighthouse of Mangalore.
A big thanks to Mr Mansoor
