Product Description
Religious Statues of Hindu Goddess Saraswati in Brass. Collectible of Goddess Saraswati holding vina (lute,a music instrument) represents knowledge and learning and Ganesha symbolizes the vanquisher of all the obstacles. It is believed worshipping them during Diwali ushers in happiness, wealth, wisdom and prosperity in the family. She is shown as having four arms, and the most common items held by her in her hands are a book, a vina (lute), a mala, and a water pot. The book signified art, science and learning; the vina associates her with music and erforming arts; and the prayer beads and water pot signify her association with religious rites.Brass is any alloy of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. Brass is a substitutional alloy. Brass has a muted yellow color, somewhat similar to gold. It is relatively resistant to tarnishing, and is often used as decoration and for coins. The craft is practiced by the people of the Kansari caste who can be broadly described as metalsmiths while a particular variety, dhokra, is practiced mainly by sithulias and hand carved by some of the finest sculpture artists of India. The largest concentration of the former is Kantilo and Balakati in Puri district although fairly substantial numbers are found in Cuttack, Ganjam and Sambalpur districts.

Goddess of Arts August 2, 2008
Aradhana (India)
Saraswati is the goddess of arts, music and learning. Poised on a lotus and playing 'veena', a traditional string instrument, the goddess is beautifully handcarved. Not to be missed the swan at her feet that is her vehicle according to Indian mythology.
