A Saraswati Thangka is a revered artwork depicting Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, music, and the arts. In the painting, she is usually seated on a lotus or a swan, symbolizing purity and spiritual grace. Saraswati is often shown with four arms, each holding an object that represents her divine attributes: a veena (musical instrument) for her skill in music, a book for her wisdom, a rosary for meditation, and a water pot.
The thangka is richly adorned with detailed patterns and vibrant colors, such as white, blue, and gold, which highlight her divine qualities. Additional sacred symbols and decorative elements may be included in the background, emphasizing her role as the patroness of learning and creativity.
