Brass Saraswati Lakshmi and Ganesha on Singhasam Idol

Lord Ganesha, the God of beginnings; Lakshmi Ma, the Goddess of Wealth; and Saraswati Ma, the Goddess of Art and Education, come together in perfect harmony. 

Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and the arts, and is often depicted with four arms, holding a lute, a book, a lotus flower, and a veena. Goddess Saraswati is often depicted riding a white swan, which is called her vahana or mount.The swan symbolizes perfection, purity, grace, and discipline, and its choice as her mount represents Saraswati's ability to distinguish between good and evil, and between what is eternal and temporary

Goddess Lakshmi is depicted with symbolic precision, embodying attributes of wealth, prosperity, and divine blessing. The owl is considered one of the vehicles of Goddess Lakshmi, along with the elephant and lotus. The owl, known as Uluka, is said to symbolize patience, intelligence, and wisdom, and to have the ability to foretell events.It is believed that when Lakshmi blesses someone with wealth and prosperity, the owl becomes her vahana or mount.

Lord Ganesha's vahana, or vehicle, is often depicted as a large Indian bandicoot rat. the rat symbolizes Ganesha's ability to overcome obstacles and get what he wants, and also represents his role as Vigneshvara, or Lord of Obstacles.
