Saraswathi Brass Sculpture
Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and learning. She is a part of the Trinity (Tridevi) of Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Parvati. All the three forms help the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to create, maintain and regenerate-recycle the Universe respectively.
The earliest known mention of Saraswati as a goddess is in the Rigveda. She has remained significant as a goddess from the Vedic period through modern times of Hindu traditions. Some Hindus celebrate the festival of Vasant Panchami (the fifth day of spring, and also known as Saraswati Puja and Saraswati Jayanti in so many parts of India) in her honor, and mark the day by helping young children learn how to write alphabets on that day. The Goddess is also revered by believers of the Jain religion of west and central India, as well as some Buddhist sects.
Sarasvati is a Sanskrit fusion word of Saras ( meaning "pooling water", but also sometimes translated as "speech"; and vati (वती) meaning "she who possesses" (also found in the name of Parvati, "She who has wings"). Originally associated with the river or rivers known as Saraswati, this combination, therefore, means "she who has ponds, lakes, and pooling water" or occasionally "she who possesses speech". It is also a Sanskrit composite word of surasa-vati (सुरस-वति) which means "one with plenty of water".
Brass is an alloy combination of Copper and Zinc. It is a substitutional composite of both brass and brass incorporate little extents with different components of non-metal and metalloids.
Solid brass valuable properties and relative ease of production have made it one of the most widely used alloys. Artists value the metal’s aesthetic properties, as it can be produced in the range of colors from deep red to golden yellow. Its ability to retain strength when formed in desired shapes and forms makes it a preferred choice in casting.
