SARASWATI: GODDESS OF KNOWLEDGE, MUSIC, SCIENCE AND ART



Saraswati is Brahman's consort.


According to Wikipedia,

'The name Saraswati came from "saras" (meaning "flow") and "wati" (meaning "a woman"). So, Saraswati is symbol of knowledge; its flow (or growth) is like a river and knowledge is supremely alluring, like a beautiful woman. She is depicted as beautiful fair Goddess with Four arms, wearing spotless white saree and seated on white lotus. She is also known as "Sharada", "Vani" and "Vagdevi" (both meaning "speech")'.
