The design features a bold red oval vignette showcasing King George V in his ornate coronation robes and the Imperial Crown of India, beneath a banner reading "INDIA POSTAGE". The outer frame is printed in an ochre-orange shade and frames intricate ornamental pillars on the sides, flanked by the faint background shapes of processed elephants bearing royal howdahs.
