Summary

[edit]
Description

Saraswati is found in practically every significant old and medieval Indian writing from 1000 BC to 1500 AD. She has played a powerful role as a goddess from the Vedic age through current circumstances of Hindu conventions. In Shanti Parva of the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Saraswati is known as the mother of the Vedas, Any puja in Hindu traditions like Saraswati Puja starts with invoking the Goddess in a ‘murti’ or idol. After completing the rituals, the puja ends by requesting the presiding deity to depart. Visarjan is a word of Sanskrit origin that implies the final rite of respectfully requesting the departure.
