Baskadia

She is someone who cares for her off springs, feeding and nurturing them, at times protecting them from external threats. Mother of a child is a perfect example of selfless devotion and love. She could undergo any amount of penance in order to protect her child or children.

Mother also acts as a mentor or guide, introducing the world to her off springs, at the same time ensuring their well being. The love of a mother knows no bounds and surprisingly animals too display a strong sense of motherhood. Sometimes a woman, who is not biologically related to the children, but nevertheless feeds and nurtures them, is also referred to as the mother.
