Saraswati Brass Statue : Saraswati is seated on her vahana, a swan, playing a veena.She holds a copy of the Vedas and a string of malas.The sheer size of the sculpture is impressive.Typically in sculpture of the goddess Saraswati she has a smaller version of a peacock next to her.To have her seated on such a large and imposing peacock gives this piece an original aspect that one does not find in Saraswati sculpture.Saraswati slides onto the top of the swan and is detachable from her vahana.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.
