The goddess of knowledge and music
Maa Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, music and the arts, is worshipped by students, scholars and artists before every new learning. This murti shows her seated gracefully on a blooming white lotus, playing the veena, with her swan resting at her feet and a serene, gentle expression.
Hand-carved from premium white Makrana marble, the same stone used in the Taj Mahal, the statue is polished, painted and gilded entirely by hand. Her white saree with red and gold floral motifs, the gold-worked veena, an ornate crown and a lotus-petal halo make it a luminous presence in any pooja room or study.

The meaning in every detail
The veena
Maa Saraswati plays the veena with two of her four hands. The instrument represents music, creative expression and the harmony of mind and spirit, inviting balance into the space where she is worshipped.
Four sacred arms
Her other hands hold sacred symbols of learning, including the pustak (scriptures), which stands for knowledge and the pursuit of truth.
Seated on the lotus
The white lotus represents purity and spiritual awakening, reminding devotees that true knowledge rises above worldly distraction.
The swan, her vahana
The hamsa at her feet symbolises discernment, the ability to separate what is true and valuable from what is not, a quality every seeker of knowledge aspires to.
Divine adornments
She wears a gold crown set with a red gem, framed by a red, green and gold lotus-petal halo, along with gold necklaces, armlets, bangles and anklets.
