Saraswati is
the Hindu goddess of learning, knowledge and creativity. She also guides the
souls of the deceased to find their way in the afterlife. In the states of
Bihar, west Bengal and Orissa, she is considered as the daughter of Durga,
along with her sister Lakshmi and brothers Ganesha and Karthikeya. In Hinduism,
she is worshipped not only for academic knowledge, but also for her divine
knowledge required to achieve moksha.
