Answer 1

Answer:

2.) This painting is significant because :

• Devotion to this mother figure came to be seen as evidence of one's nationalism.

• It helped to build a sense of collective belongingness among people.

• It helped in the growth of nationalism.

3.) Here Bharat Mata is shown with a 'Trishul', standing beside a lion and an elephant - both symbols of power and authority. Here this painting emphasises on self rule that is swaraj and freedom and rel authorisation of Indian people over India.
