To view the dot pattern and dot count, click on the title of each Kolam

Saraswati Puja kolam



The dot pattern is interlaced dots.  Dot count 9-2.
The outline structure of saraswati kolam:

The name Saraswati came from "saras" (meaning "flow") and "wati" (meaning "a woman"). So, Saraswati is symbol of knowledge; its flow (or growth) is like a river and knowledge is supremely alluring, like a beautiful woman.


 Saraswati is worshipped as the goddess of knowledge, learning and the arts.  This is an important day for schools, musicians, dancers and artists.  This kolam is drawn to increase the memory power and to seek the blessings of the goddess.  It's ideal to draw five lotus with rice flour below this kolam and worship the goddess.

Hi,

Would you be able to explain the Saraswati symbol to me?

Also why is the symbol sometimes depicted with 5 heads and sometimes with 7?

In maharashtra also this 2-9 Dot pattern drawings are drawn on slate by students on Saraswati Puja day.
My question is What is the source behind association of this image with Saraswati Puja. Is it from some religious text or archeological site.
