Goddess Sarasvati ca. 1890-20 India In this rare representation of Sarasvati, the goddess of knowledge and the arts is seen riding astride Vishnus eagle Garuda, flying high above rolling mountain ranges. Rather than holding her characteristic book of learning and her favored instrument, the vina, she displays the signature attributes of her Lord Vishnu in her four hands, the discus, conch, lotus and mace. She is stern and martial, more akin to Vishnu himself than to the gentle goddess of knowledge. Likewise, her body has assumed the blue hue of Vishnu rather than her characteristic white complexion. In the Bengali Vaishnava tradition Sarasvati is considered the first wife of Vishnu.. Goddess Sarasvati. India. ca. 1890-20. Color lithograph. Prints
