Saraswati is one of the three main goddesses, the Tridevi, in Hindu belief, alongside Lakshmi and Parvati. She is the Hindu goddess of arts, knowledge and music. She is known as the consort of Brahma, "The Creator" within the Trimurti. Saraswati is believed by Hindus to be a manifestation of God Almighty in her function as His Goddess of Knowledge. 

Saraswati is believed to be a very beautiful goddess, with four hands, each holding a Pustaka (book), Genitri (a rosary), a Veena and a lotus flower. She is depicted standing on a swan. By Hindus in India, worship of Goddess Saraswati is done in Murti Puja. While in Bali, Indonesia, worship is generally done in the form of rerahinan or ceremonies.
