Golden ornaments in traditional designs adorn Devi Saraswati, who is draped in a gorgeous yellow sari- the color that represents knowledge and its purity. Devi’s Kayabandha (waist cloth) in a pleasing purple shade and her blouse in pink bring a tasteful splash of colors to this marble goddess Saraswati statue. The chaturbhuja (four-armed) goddess sits on a naturalistically presented fully blossomed lotus flower- a symbol for the inner potency of human consciousness. The marble statue of goddess Saraswati depicts her as a lovely, youthful maiden- her visage the source of the beauty of the moon, her eyes animated. The soft pink hues on her lotus throne make it look naturalistic, while the waves of blue beneath it connect this marble goddess Saraswati statue to her form as a celestial stream. With masterful polishing and detailing on the marble surface, the maker has succeeded in bringing a glacial, flawless aura to the countenance of Devi. Holding her Veena (stringed musical instrument) goddess Saraswati in this enchanting marble representation, gazes on her devotees, showering motherly affection and boons of artistic skills and wisdom.
