Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, music, art and wisdom. In Sanskrit, “Sara” means ‘essence’ and “swa” means ‘oneself' - meaning “essence of oneself” and Saraswati means ‘one who leads to essence of self-knowledge’.
She is lotus-eyed; knowledge personified. She is like the jasmine-colored moon; is adorned in radiant white attire; often seated on a white lotus, which symbolizes light, knowledge and truth.
Her beautiful arm rests on the Veena, the musical instrument,which represents all creative arts and sciences and her holding it symbolizes expressing knowledge that creates harmony.
She eliminates ignorance and bestows wisdom and intelligence.
