Bhārata MātāTemple

A small shrine to Bhārata Mātā – Mother India stands inside what was once a mosque in the outer courtyard of the DaulatābādorDeogirī Fort. The styling of the pillars gives reason to believe this was once a Hindu temple, repurposed into a mosque after conquest by Allauddin Khilji. The Bhārata Mātā shrine is believed to have been created after Independence as a secular shrine to avoid controversies.
