Slogan cancellations are cancellations that contain
words in the form of a slogan. These types of cancellations can serve
as public service announcements, promotions for charitable causes,
patriotic sentiments, advertisements, propaganda, and more (Healey).
Here is one such cover on which a Sanskrit slogan is used on World Theatre Day to cancel the stamp on 28th March, 1962 by the Madras GPO.
The slogan reads --
मङ्गल्यं ललितं नाट्यम् --
maṅgalyaṃ lalitaṃ nātyam
which means
"Fine Dance is Bliss"
