This print showcases Sarasvati, the Goddess of Wisdom, in all her divine glory. Created during the 10th century, this exquisite sculpture is a testament to the artistic brilliance of ancient Nepal. Made from gilt copper alloy adorned with semiprecious stones, it radiates an aura of opulence and grandeur. Sarasvati stands tall and majestic, holding a book and a water pot in her multi-armed form. Her golden figure glistens against a backdrop of vibrant colors, capturing the essence of Hinduism's rich heritage. The intricate gilding on her body adds depth and texture to this remarkable piece of art. With graceful hand gestures known as mudras, Sarasvati exudes wisdom and knowledge.

Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, this photograph invites viewers into a world where divinity meets human imagination. It serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and a spiritual inspiration for those seeking enlightenment.
