KuppoorthallaPostal Covers & Pre-1854 Postal History
Kapurthala (historically Kuppoorthalla) is a city in Punjab, India, the former capital of a princely state whose rulers endowed it with palaces and gardens in French and Indo-Saracenic style. Set in the Doaba between the Beas and Sutlej, it was a courtly and administrative town. Its pre stamp postal markings document the early mail of the central Punjab in the era of British ascendancy.
