On 8 August 2020, India post has issued a set of seven Commemorative Postage Stamps and a miniature sheet on Terracotta Temples of India.

Terracotta means baked clay. It has been a medium of thousands of creations since historic times and was the oldest building material in India. In case of lack or inadequacy of the stones, the structure was erected with the help of baked clay tiles narrating episodes from mythology and life which gave the birth a new type of temple architecture.
