Bharat Mata Temple

The Bharat Mata Temple was built in 1936 by Shiva Prashad Gupta.

This temple hosted the inauguration ceremony of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the most prominent leaders of the movement for Indian independence from Great Britain. The Bharat Mata Temple is the only temple dedicated to Mother India. Traditionally, she is depicted as a woman in a yellow or orange sari holding a flag. The statue in the temple is made of marble.

For tourists, in addition to the history of Indian culture, the temple will also be interesting because it contains a huge relief map covering the entire Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan plateau. The map is made in such a technique that you can accurately distinguish the mountains and rivers you are interested in.
