Invoke the divine blessings of Goddess Saraswati — the supreme deity of knowledge, wisdom, music, arts, and learning — into your home with this exquisitely handcrafted 4-inch brass Goddess Saraswathi on lotus with square peetam idol. Worshipped across Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist traditions by her many sacred names — Saraswati, Saraswathi, Vagdevi (Goddess of Speech), Sharada, Bharati, Veena Vadini (Player of the Veena), Vani, Brahmi, Vagishvari, Shatarupa, Mahavidya, Hamsavahini (One who rides the swan), and Bhagavati Saraswati — Devi Saraswati is the eternal mother of all forms of knowledge, eloquence, creativity, music, and the arts.
This divinely beautiful murti depicts Goddess Saraswati in her classic four-armed form (Chaturbhuja), seated gracefully on a fully bloomed lotus pedestal that rests upon a sturdy square peetam (decorative throne base) — a powerful traditional South Indian temple-style design that adds stability, regal stature, and Vastu alignment to the deity. She is portrayed playing her sacred veena (Mahati Veena) with two of her hands, while her other two hands display traditional gestures and attributes. Behind her divine head shines a beautifully detailed prabavali (halo arch) — symbolising her radiant divine aura, cosmic energy, and the eternal light of knowledge that emanates from her.
The square peetam features intricately carved swirling motifs and traditional designs along its borders, lending the entire idol the appearance of a temple sanctum sanctorum (garbhagriha). She is adorned with an elaborate kireedam (crown), heavy temple necklaces, ornate earrings, sacred yajnopavita, and detailed temple jewellery — every element meticulously sculpted to capture her royal status as Goddess of Wisdom and Arts.
Crafted from premium-grade solid brass with a warm golden antique finish, this statue is the work of skilled South Indian artisans who have meticulously detailed every element — from the layered lotus petals to the delicate veena strings, the radiant halo, ornate jewellery, and the engraved square base. Standing 4 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide, this idol delivers a powerful temple-style presence in a compact, elegant size — perfect balance of devotional power and aesthetic refinement.
This brass Saraswathi idol with square peetam is perfect for home pooja rooms, study tables, school and college altars, music rooms, art studios, dance schools, libraries, office desks of writers and creators, classrooms, and premium gifting hampers. Whether you are a student preparing for exams, a writer seeking inspiration, a musician honing your art, an artist exploring creativity, or a parent invoking blessings for your child's education, this Vagdevi brass idol becomes your sacred companion in the pursuit of knowledge and excellence. It also makes a deeply meaningful gift for housewarmings (Griha Pravesh), Vasant Panchami (Saraswati Pooja), Navaratri, school admissions, exam season, graduation, music academy openings, and educational milestone celebrations.

Significance of Square Peetam & Prabavali
Square Peetam (Throne Base)
The square peetam is a sacred geometric base used in traditional South Indian temple iconography. Its significance includes:
- Stability and grounding — represents firm foundations of knowledge and wisdom.
- Vastu alignment — square shapes are highly auspicious for goddess deities.
- Royal seat (Simhasana) — elevates the deity to her regal divine stature.
- Earthly foundation for divine wisdom — symbolises that true knowledge stands on solid ethical ground.
Prabavali (Halo Arch)
The prabavali is the ornamental arch behind the deity's head, symbolising:
- Divine aura and cosmic radiance of the goddess.
- Eternal light of knowledge that dispels ignorance.
- Sanctum sanctorum — transforms the idol into a complete temple-style darshan.
- Spiritual protection surrounding the deity and her devotees.
Together, the square peetam and prabavali make this idol especially powerful and visually complete — bringing the full temple darshan experience to your sacred space.
