EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Sarasvati" showcases the divine Hindu goddess of wisdom and knowledge, Sarasvati. Created by an unknown artist around 1885-95, this stunning piece is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of 19th-century India. In this vibrant image, Sarasvati stands gracefully with her veena, a traditional stringed instrument associated with music and literature. Adorned in colorful attire, she exudes elegance and serenity as she holds a book symbolizing language and literature - two domains closely linked to her essence. Surrounded by lotus flowers representing purity and enlightenment, Sarasvati is accompanied by a swan - an animal often associated with beauty and grace in Hindu mythology. This depiction highlights her connection to nature while emphasizing her role as the patroness of arts, science, religion, and ayurvedic medicine. The lithograph not only captures the ethereal beauty of Sarasvati but also serves as a visual homage to Indian culture's reverence for female deities. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into the spiritual realm while celebrating India's artistic legacy. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this extraordinary piece invites visitors to immerse themselves in the mystical world of Hinduism while paying tribute to an era when religious devotion was intricately intertwined with artistic expression.
