Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of
learning, eloquence (Vaakdevi), and wisdom. The deity of Saraswati is depicted
as a beautiful woman, with two hands, who sits on a lotus holding veena (a
musical string instrument) playing music of love and ever-expanding knowledge.
The other two hands hold a book (representing
the Vedas or knowledge) and a lotus,
the icon of peace. She is dressed in a beautiful white outfit and she is
accompanied by a white swan, symbolizing purity, wisdom, and tranquility.
Worship of Saraswati by the Hindus is symbolic of our constant search for
knowledge and respect for creativity in art, music, and speech.
