Saraswathi is the goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. She is one of the Tridevi, along with the goddesses Lakshmi and Parvati. She is shown to have four arms, holding a book, a rosary, a water pot, and veena. Hindus celebrate the festival of Vasant Panchami (Saraswati Puja) in her honour and mark the day by helping young children learn how to write the letters of the alphabet on that day.

Sukla Navami Abishegam is conducted for Saraswathi monthly and poojai during Navarathri festival is conducted for her annually.
