1. भारत (Bhārata) This is the most common and traditional way to write "Bharat" in Sanskrit. It is pronounced as "BHA-rat" with the emphasis on the first syllable.
2. भरत (Bharata) This is an alternative spelling, often used to refer to the legendary king Bharat from whom the country is said to have derived its name. It is pronounced as "BHA-rat" with the emphasis on the first syllable.
Both spellings are valid and used in different contexts. The first spelling, भारत (Bhārata), is more common and is generally used when referring to the country of India. The second spelling, भरत (Bharata), is used when referring to the legendary king or in specific contexts where the name is used differently.
