Abstract
Since ancient times, every country has its own identity by which it is known. Writers, artists, and culture have made a huge contribution to bringing this identity into existence. There has been a provision of worship of God and Goddess in India since the Vedic period. According to the Vedas, God resides everywhere. Thus, India has been called the "Land of the Gods" since ancient times. The culture, art, and literature here have contributed much to making this land the "Land of the Gods." The residents here call the land of India "Motherland." In this context, there is a verse in Valmiki Ramayana that "Janani Janmabhūmishcha Swargādapi Garīyasī”. This verse describes the mother and birthplace as greater than heaven. In this way, the people of India consider the land their mother. Hence, the people of India call India "Bharat Mata." With the changing times, artists have made many changes in the pictures, designs, icons and symbols of Mother India. Artists Abinindranath Tagore and M.F. Hussain painted "Bharat Mata" from his observation and presented it to society. Thereby the artists have given a new look to "Bharat Mata.".
