Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge, is believed to be the daughter of Lord Shiva & Maa Durga and is one of the Hindu deities.

Saraswati, commonly called Vagdevi or Shatarupa, is known to be the mother of all Vedas.

She has white swans around. Her devotees celebrate her birthday every year on Basant Panchami. 

What does Saraswati symbolize:
