A beautiful Hand Carved Sandalwood
Hindu Goddess Sarewati Worship Figure Statue
Description
A wonderfully hand carved sandalwood
Hindu Goddess Sarewati Worship Figure statue. I believe this date to around
1900’s.
Saraswati,
the goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and nature, represents the free
flow of wisdom and consciousness. She is the mother of the Vedas, and chants directed to
her, called the 'Saraswati Vandana' often begin and end Vedic lessons.
Saraswati
is the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. It is believed that goddess Saraswati
endows human beings with the powers of speech, wisdom, and learning. She has
four hands representing four aspects of human personality in learning: mind,
intellect, alertness, and ego. In visual representations, she has sacred
scriptures in one hand and a lotus, the symbol of true knowledge, in the
opposite hand.
