Temple of Barathmatha - Varanasi

When we talk about the different temples of India, we should definitely talk about an unique temple in the holy city of Varanasi. It is an unique temple of its kind and it takes through the independent struggle that our fore fathers went through. There is no idol or image given to Barath Matha and each and every one can imagine her in their own way. 


The temple is located about 3 km west of Godaulia, outside the old city. It is situated in the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth campus.This temple was inagurated in the year 1936 by Mahathma Gandhi himself. The entire temple is a two storey building with a map of 35ft x 35 ft engraved in the middle (may be to depict the deity). The entire map is carved out of marble and all the minute details like rivers, mountains, valleys, deltas, seas and oceans, Himalayas, Kanyakumari all are depicted. It also have the Indian subcontinent countries of Afghanistan, Tibet, Burma, Sirlanka. As the temple was inagurated in the year 1936, there had been no partition and so we cannot see Pakistan as a separate country in that map.

It is a must for every one of us to visit this temple atleast once in our life time. The temple depicts the pictures of freedom struggle, so it will be a great learning experience for the younger and future generations. We have to thank Shri. Shivprasad Gupta, who conceived this idea of having a temple for the mother nation.
