Maa Saraswati with Veena
 
Description: Crafted from polished black granite, this graceful sculpture depicts Maa Saraswati, Hindu goddess of knowledge and arts, seated on a lotus pedestal. Four arms hold her symbols - the sacred manuscript and defense weapon in two hands while the front hands pluck the strings of the veena music instrument. Intricate patterns on her garment and ornaments contrast finely against the smooth stone. The all-knowing aura amplified by the granite's luster is enhanced by a regal swan mount attending at her feet. This composition captures Saraswati's timeless elegance and depth as the embodiment of creative consciousness and dispenser of skills, conveyed inventively through the monolithic medium.
