Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu mother goddess who reigns over all things creative is visualized in this classically aesthetic wooden sculpture as the primordial Yogini, a female who practices Yoga (the act of oneness with the supreme reality), surrounded by celestial nymphs who receive the divine arts of dance, music, poetry, and conversation as the benedictions of Devi Saraswati. A beautiful Mayura (peacock) sits near the feet of the great goddess, mystified by the heavenly dance she performs.
The magnificent goddess Saraswati wall panel is framed by the motif of lotus leaves etched in wood and has a lotus platform for the Devi to stand on. Goddess Saraswati has her hair in an updo which is adorned by an ornate Chudamani (hair ornament) worn by royal queens. Floral Dehri (circular earrings), two pairs of necklaces, armbands, bracelets, an elaborate girdle, and anklets beautify the form of Maa Saraswati, whose exquisiteness is beyond the charm of all the jewels of the human realm combined. Holding her Veena (stringed musical instrument, the lute) in her hands and her left leg raised sharply, supporting the instrument, the goddess strikes an awe-inspiringly dynamic posture. The fluidity in her pose is spread all over this wooden goddess Saraswati wall panel through the curving vegetation that surrounds her. Floral vines and creepers in Indian art tradition symbolize the origination of life and serve as an auspicious motif in divine imagery. The tunes emanating from the lute of Devi Saraswati inspire life-affirming creativity in her surroundings, which are marked by the creepers and the custodians of godly ingenuity and art- the Apsaras.
The dark shade of the wooden Devi Saraswati wall panel instills a distinctive and natural aesthetic quality to it, which is enhanced by the mastered carving done by the maker of this wall panel. Thanks to the trained hands of the master artist, we mortals get a chance to witness the divine dance of Maa Saraswati, which was restricted to the celestial beings before the creation of this wooden artistic wonder.
