Well, I guess I’m going to have to nominate Saraswati, who even cast in bronze, ivory or resin, can emanate an aura of light and beauty. When I ask whom the Saraswati statue is competing with, I will only have to look at the other feminine Hindu goddesses of Kali, Durga, and Lakshmi goddesses celebrated as a trinity of divinity at Durga puja.
Some people might object to my crowning Saraswati as the prettiest especially since Lakshmi, so abundantly pictured and portrayed, is quite comely herself. I think I have chosen the Saraswati statue because there is a gentleness and harmony about her as she plays the lute, which adds to her beauty. When Saraswati plays her lute, she can inspire you to a harmony within yourself or perhaps even compel you to action. Of course, this is also my opinion for today.
Sarawati statue is not just another pretty girl!
Well, she’s just not another pretty girl. When you bring a Saraswati statue into your home, you are also bringing in the creative force of the universe. Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, music and art. She is also a great communicator and those of us who have had problems with dyslexia or other speech impediments have been known to have asked for her assistance in perfecting their speech.
The Saraswati statue is usually depicted with Saraswati having four arms. Her front two arms indicate Sarawati’s activity in the physical world, her other two arms the spiritual world. She is playing a veena (lute), which symbolizes your mind and intellect, meaning you need to keep your intellect and mind in tune in order to live in harmony with the world. When you are in harmony with the world, you can use your acquired knowledge to benefit human kind. The mala in her rear hand denotes meditation, contemplation and concentration, which lead you into samadhi. Samadhi thus liberates you from the bondage of the world.

There was a river called the Saraswati in Vedic times. The ancient Harappan civilization developed along this river and the Indus River. It was here the earliest written language in India developed. It is believed Saraswati now personifies communicating excellence because of the role the river played in the Harappan lives.
