Both elements represent the same historical figure in a consistent cultural and iconographic framework, resulting in full thematic alignment.

– Geographic: The cancellation from Madras (present‑day Chennai) corresponds directly to the issuing country of the stamp (India) and reinforces the Indian cultural environment depicted in the postcard, providing strong geographic coherence.
