| Additional information |
Issued to mark the bicentenary of Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati's birth in 1824, this commemorative was released by the Government of India through its Security Printing and Minting Corporation. Dayanand founded the Arya Samaj in 1875 in Bombay, a reformist Hindu movement that rejected idolatry and caste discrimination and became a significant intellectual force in the independence movement decades later.
The 200-rupee denomination has been used sparingly for commemoratives, making it one of the less common face values in the modern Indian collector series.
