✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and learning. She is the consort of Brahma and the embodiment of all that is pure and refined in thought and creativity.
Dressed in white symbolizing purity of knowledge, she sits on a white lotus or swan, playing the veena (stringed instrument). Unlike Lakshmi's material wealth, Saraswati represents the riches of the mind and soul—education, creativity, and enlightenment.
She is particularly worshipped by students, artists, musicians, and scholars. The Saraswati River, now mostly underground, was once considered as sacred as the Ganges, representing the flow of wisdom.
✦ Famous Story
Saraswati created music and language to bring order to Brahma's chaotic creation. She invented Sanskrit, gave knowledge of the Vedas, and through her gift of speech, allowed beings to communicate, learn, and grow wise.
