The Book she carries is symbolic of Knowledge. The Crystal Beads Rosary having 50 beads on her hands is symbolic of concentration and transparency. The number of beads represents the number of letters of Sanskrit. She has complete knowledge of meditation and Yoga represented by bow and arrow.

Saraswati Mantra
Goddess Saraswati is said to possess the powers of speech, wisdom and learning. Sarasvati Mantra is an important mantra and people pray to her for guidance and knowledge. The Saraswathi Beeja is 'AIM'.
The Mantra
"Yaa Kundendu Tushaara Haaradhavalaa, Yaa Shubhravastraavritha
Yaa Veenavara Dandamanditakara, Yaa Shwetha Padmaasana
Yaa Brahmaachyutha Shankara Prabhritibhir Devaisadaa Vanditha
Saa Maam Paatu Saraswati Bhagavatee Nihshesha Jaadyaapaha"
Meaning
May Goddess Saraswati, who is fair and beautiful like the jasmine-colored moon and whose pure white garland resembles frosty dew drops; who is adorned in radiant white attire, on whose arm rests the veena, and whose throne is a white lotus; who is surrounded and respected by the Gods, Protect me. May you remove my lethargy and brighten my life with the light of knowledge."
Saraswati Gayatri Mantra
Om Vaakdeviyai cha Vidhmahe
Virinji Pathniyai cha Dheemahe
Thanno Vani Prachodayath.
However, Goddess Saraswati is not worshiped much in temples. But she is worshiped during Saraswathi Pooja or Navarathiri in India.

Hi!
While reading article I have found discussion about SO-HUM, regarding this I have something to share. SO-HUM is a powerful self realization mantra is means AS I AM. When we inhale a sound SO is produced and as we exhale HUM sound is produced. While chanting SO-HUM we have to bring our consciousness to our breathing pattern. It would be very powerful if we recite it mentally in synchronization with our breathing.
Regards.
U people are gud and great..............thank U...!
that was a great report on this great indian goddess!
Students vist Basara Sri Jyana Sarswathi temple before examinations for success. OM SARASWATHAI NAMAHA:
Thanks Anamika for the kind words. About "duties" I wish I had a little less of those (especially after marriage things get "interesting)..hehe.
Thanks for the nice comments dear. You don't need to be a Saint to do that. Performing your duties properly as a human being is also a form of worship.
It is just a few hours drive from Hyderabad. Yes you do have many mantras. I get such good vibes reading your hubs. Although I am not a very religious person but I do feel one day I might take my heritage more seriously (at least my mom wants me to). :-)
Yes, I have heard about this Temple but have not seen it so far. Thanks for the visit and nice comments. In my Blog you will find all major mantras of hindu religion.

Near Hyderabad there is a wonderful Saraswati temple: http://www.basaratemple.org/ As per our traditions "akshara abhyasam" performed in such places tends to make the child very good in studies. I will now check out that blog of yours too. I just went to your link and nice mantras about Krishna/Rama. Thumbs up.
Your speech patterns, communication style, sense of humor, quickness of thought etc depends on the position of Mercury in the Horoscope. You can see all major Mantras including this in my Blog Mantras for life @ http://lifegivingmantras.blogspot.com
Thank you for enlightening me about the So-Hum mantra meditation, I have already started chanting. I want to know which mantra will improve my People skills, which are very much required in the practical world i.e. knowing the intentions and strengths of other people and acting accordingly? Thanking you for creating this hub.
The SO- HUM can be helpful. You can practice mantra meditation where you would repeat or chant sooting mantras or positive affirmations like 'I am going to do it', 'I am at peace', 'I am happy' depending on your requirement.
Thanks Anpadh and Aj for your visits.
Which mantra can give me assertiveness?
Hi.
I would like to learn more about Saraswati. If you would not mind sharing your knowledge with me, please e-mail me at anpadh@hotmail.com. Thanks!
Thanks for the Comments Tatjana and Palaglider.
Many thanks for this hub and for Saraswati Beej Mantra.
For a long time I used an image of Saraswati as my laptop wallpaper. I like both her appearance and what she stands for. I bought a small bronze of her as a memento of my time working in Mumbai. Thanks for this hub.

The first line of the first paragraph is in-valid. Hinduism, or Sanata Dharma, has only 3 main deities each with their consort; usually in the role of women, without which the three deities would have no power.Each of these deities and their consorts take carnations , do not mistake that for "a" particular god or goddess.
My most humble affection, Randy.
