Cover from India

I have received wonderful cover from India, from my friend Subramanya. He sent me two postcards, several mint stamps and nice FDC.

Sukhoi SU-30 Aircraft in formation

The Sukhoi Su-30 is a twin-engine, two-seat supermaneuverable fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. It is a multirole fighter for all-weather, air-to-air and air-to-surface deep interdiction missions.
Indian Air Force operates the Su-30MKI variant. Russia built the early Su-30MKIs; later Su-30MKIs are assembled indigenously under license by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The IAF has 200 Su-30MKIs in service as of August 2014.

The Chennakesava Temple located at Somanathapura is one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture. The temple was built by Soma, a Dandanayaka in 1268 A.D. under Hoysala king Narasimha III, when the Hoysala Empire was the major power in South India.This temple is in Indian state Karnataka.

This nice FDC is dedicated to 50 years of Nagaland, date of issue is 2013-12-01. Nagaland is a state in Northeast India. It borders the state of Assam to the west, Arunachal Pradesh and part of Assam to the north, Burma to the east and Manipur to the south. It's one of the smallest states of India.Nagaland became the 16th state of India on 1 December 1963.
