Goddess Swaraswati

Goddess Swaraswati

Gupta Period, 3rd Century AD

        Here the Goddess is depicted as goddess of music. For while three figures play instruments, the fourth figure is dancing. Music is integral for our existence. It permeates not only our mind and soul, but also exists in outer space. 

        The Gupta sculptures are known for their simplicity and elegance, for harmony and beauty. They are classical pieces of art.
