The Permanent Pictorial cancellation is a kind of defacing the stamp, which shows replica design or a picture of a tourist, religious, historical or an important place.
India Post has introduced a permanent pictorial cancellation on 01.01.1965 depicting the Seashore Temple. I got two variations of this cancellation on my recent visit.
