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.
