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.
