A Bharathamatha statue at Kanyakumari, or Cape Comorin, the southern-most coast of India An Illustration of Bharat Mata Bhārat Mātā （ Mother India in English） is a national personification of India （Bharat） as a mother goddess.
In the visual arts she is commonly depicted dressed in a red or saffron-coloured sari and holding a national flag; she sometimes stands on a lotus and is accompanied by a lion.

In numerous protest meetings, she appeared in the rallying cry Vande Mataram （I bow to the mother）.
Bharat Mata was painted as a four-armed goddess by Abanindra Nath Tagore in 1904 in the style associated with the Bengal School of Art and is displayed in the Victoria Memorial Museum in Kolkata.
Secular representations of India also came to accompany her.
By the late-19th century, maps of India produced by the British Raj, and based on the Great Trigonometrical Survey, had become widely available.
With the background of a map, Bharat Mata appeared on the cover of the poet Subramania Bharati's Tamil language-magazine Vijaya in 1909.
In the decades following, she appeared throughout India in popular art—in magazines, posters, and calendars—becoming a symbol of Indian nationalism.
