There is a mythological story related to how Brahma ji created Maa Saraswati. According to the Hindu scripture, at the beginning of creation, the three gods also known as Trimurti – Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh (Lord Shiva) took incarnation in the human race. But they were not satisfied with their creation.

Brahma ji took permission from Lord Vishnu and Shiv Shankar and took out water from his Kamandal and sprinkled it on the earth while reciting the Vedas. As soon as the water fell on the earth, that place started vibrating.

At the place where Brahma sprinkled water, a wonderful power appeared. She was a very beautiful woman with four arms. Mata Saraswati was holding a Veena in one hand and Tathastu Mudra in the other hand.

She was holding flowers and garland in the other two hands. Seeing this, Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh greeted her and asked her to play the Veena. Then the Goddess accepted the greetings of the Gods and started playing the Veena.

Due to the playing of the Veena by the mother, the living beings, animals, and creatures of the three worlds got to hear the sweet sound.
