Saraswati Devi is the Divine consort of Brahma Deva (the Creator) and the Hindu goddess of music and learning. She is portrayed with a white sari (a typical Indian costume worn by the women) carrying a Veena (a stringed musical instrument played by the Carnatic classical musicians) named Madalasa. And She uses hamsa or swan as her vehicle hence she is also known as Hamsavahini.
Saraswati is divine embodiment of knowledge, wisdom, arts, and learning. Worshipping Saraswati Devi and chanting her sacred prayers before starting any educational activity or creative pursuit helps in sharpening the intellect and improving concentration. Among her many hymns, "Saraswati Namastubhyam" and "Ya Kundendu" are the most powerful and widely recited slokas by students and spiritual seekers.
Saraswati Devi is worshipped by every Hindu family while performing Aksharabhyasam: the first education of their child and seek Her blessings for good education for their children.
