Cover from India with different themes

Today I would like to show you a cover from India, the sender sticked on it four nice stamps:

On top left you see the face of Majaz Lakhnawi, Indian poet writing his production in urdu. In one's own name Asrarul Haq was born 1911 and died in December 1955 of undercooling after he stayed drunken lying on land.

I introduce the stamps on the right from top to bottom:
The butterfly is from butterfly series from 2008, concretely the male of Pachliopta Rhodifer species. The female has her own stamp, because she differs from male by physiognomy. Together with Papilio Mayo they are endemic butterflies of indian Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

The building on the stamp from the year 2007 in the middle is Wilson College - school founded in India by reverend John Wilson of the Scottish Missionary Society. Today is a degree college to the University of Mumbai.

Last stamp right down is dedicated to tiger Reserve Project in indian Sundarbansu, that's why it has the picture of the tiger. Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve was found in 1974 and spreads over 2585 km2 of mangrove swamps in West Bengal.
