Saraswati, Goddess of learning and arts

Saraswati is the goddess of learning and the arts (e.g., music), and is often seen playing the Veena, a string instrument. She is also worshipped as the goddess of thoughts of truth and forgiveness. It is likely that she originated as a river Goddess because her name in Sanskrit means "she who has lakes or pools."
