About About the place

The Bharat Mata Temple in Varanasi is dedicated to Mother India and features a remarkable marble relief map of the Indian subcontinent as it existed before the partition of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Constructed by Shiv Kumar Gupta in 1931 and inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi, the temple aims to represent India as a unified entity. The map, carved in marble, depicts mountains, rivers, and plains, offering a topographical representation of the region. While the temple itself is relatively simple in design, the map is the primary attraction, offering a unique perspective on the geography and history of India. The surrounding area has suffered from a lack of consistent maintenance.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

It was one of the most prestigious places of the city and our visit to this place was great. Our guide made sure that we knew the story part of this place and we roamed around for quite some time and clicked many pictures. It was really nice and peaceful here and we liked it.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
