Bharat Mata Mandir, Hindu temple in Varanasi district, India
The Bharat Mata Mandir features a three-dimensional relief map of undivided India carved from marble, displaying mountains, plateaus, rivers, and oceans.
Doctor Shiv Prasad Gupta constructed the temple, which Mahatma Gandhi inaugurated in 1936 within the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith campus.
The temple represents national unity by displaying a geographical map instead of traditional deities, symbolizing India as the mother goddess.
The marble relief map utilizes a scale where one inch equals 6.4 miles horizontally and two thousand feet vertically for accurate geographical representation.
The marble map includes 450 mountain peaks, 800 rivers, major cities, and pilgrimage sites, with Mount Everest represented by a 15-inch marble piece.
