		As per orthodox Hindu conceptions, the personality of one diety cannot be entirely separated from that of another.
		Saraswathi Puja is performed with the worship of Goddess Saraswathi as the Goddess of Learning, the deity of Gayathri, the fountainhead of fine arts and science and the symbol of supreme vedantic knowledge.
