"about" and "of"
I likely use the phrases like that:
a photo of my dog
a map of India
but is there any error in following phrases ?
a photo about my dog
a map about India
Are they the same meaning ?

"Of" and "about" are quite different words. In your examples, you cannot replace "of" with "about".

You used "of" correctly but not "about", they do not mean the same thing.
a story about my dog.
a story about India.
There are many uses of 'about'.
I am about to go to the store.
Tell me about the time...
There will be about 50 other people at the party.
