Saraswati (Art Print) – Ben Christian

Saraswati, the Melodious Lady, Yang chen ma, in the shining light of her sacred form, arises due to the viewer’s virtue. She sits atop a lotus and moon disc, above a mist enshrouded body of water; and holds an elegant four stringed veena or lute, whose strings she appears to pluck with a crimson tear-drop shaped pick. Before her sits a white peacock, representing the courageous and heartfelt wish to become enlightened for the sake of all beings.
