The lovely Devi Saraswati has no equal in terms of gentleness and beauty. The Saraswati murti that you see on this page depicts Maa Saraswati seated on an upturned bloom of a gigantic lotus. Her limbs are in lalitasana; on the right thigh rests the belly of Her veena, while the arm that cradles its neck is supported by the elbow on the left knee.
Such a stance is common to the traditional Saraswati Puja murti. This bronze number - panchaloha, which is a blend of five different iron-based alloys - is heavily influenced by the traditional aesthetic of South Indian temple architecture and iconography. The lotus-engraved plinth, the pillars on either side of Saraswati idol throne, and the richly detailed Kirtimukham aureole.
In this Saraswati sculpture, Maa Saraswati has shut Her eyes, steeped in the music of Her veena. Her tall crown and floral karnakundalas accentuate the beauty and serenity of Her youthful face. A skilfully executed bronze such as this one would be a valuable addition to your home or office temple.
