Bharata ( Sanskrit: भरत, Indonesian: Barata, Chinese: Poloto, Burmese: Bhadra, Malay: Baradan, Tamil: Paratan, Thai: Phra Phrot, Khmer: ព្រះភិរុត) in the Hindu epic Ramayana was the brother of the protagonist Rama and the second son of Dasharatha and only son of Kaikeyi. Dasharatha was the emperor of Ayodhya and belonged to the Suryavansha or Solar Dynasty. It is said that after Rama, he was the symbol of dharma and idealism. A few commentators, however, deem Bharata to be even greater than Rama himself in virtue.
According to Valmiki Ramayana, Bharata is one quarter component of manifest Vishnu(Rama).
In Hindu scriptures, Bharata ( Sanskrit: भरत, Bharata i.e., "The cherished") is a legendary emperor and the founder of the Bhārata dynasty and thus an ancestor of the Pandavas and the Kauravas in the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. Though the Bhāratas are a prominent tribe in the Rigveda, the story of Bharata is first told in the Adi Parva of the Mahabharata, wherein he is the son of Dushyanta and Shakuntala. The story of his parents and his birth is also related in Kalidasa's famous play Abhijñānashākuntala.
India has been called Bharatavarṣa (the country of Bharata) after him and Bhārat is an official name of the Republic of India.
