devi saraswati

Saraswati (Sanskrit: सरस्वती, IAST: Sarasvatī) is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning.[5] She is one of the Tridevi, along with the goddesses Lakshmi and Parvati.[6][7]

 

The earliest known mention of Saraswati as a goddess is in the Rigveda.[8] She has remained significant as a goddess from the Vedic period through the modern period of Hindu traditions.[9] She is generally shown to have four arms, holding a book, a rosary, a water pot, and a musical instrument called the veena. Each of these items have a symbolic meaning in Hinduism.
