Bharat Mata Mandir (meaning "Mother India Temple") is located on the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith campus in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Instead of traditional statues of gods and goddesses, this temple has a huge map of undivided India carved in marble. This temple is dedicated to Bharat Mata and was originally the only one of its kind in the world, though a few others have now been built. The Bharat Mata Mandir was created by philanthropist and freedom fighter Shiv Prasad Gupta. Read more on Wikipedia
