Saraswati is seated on a lotus base, playing a veena, a stringed instrument. She is adorned with a crown and jewelry, and her posture is often described as elegant and graceful.

Saraswati's iconography is rich with symbolism. The veena represents her connection to music and the arts, while the lotus symbolizes purity and knowledge. She is often depicted with four hands, representing different aspects of human learning: intellect, alertness, mind, and ego.
