It is fitting that this culturally-rich, plush musical toy, made in the image of Saraswati Devi, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music and the arts, has such a strong musical element integrated into its design. Both the 6-inch and 10-inch sizes play 5 different mantras, each of which is gorgeously sung in a soothing female voice. The 10-inch size, in addition to playing a different mantra with each squeeze of its belly, has the added benefit of playing from a selection of instrumental veena music each time the plush veena held by Saraswati is pressed. The plush doll, colorfully clad in a beautiful sari, has large, mesmerizing eyes set in a wide, friendly face that projects calmness and well-being. Kids take great delight in endlessly exploring the musical features, as they do in the wide-ranging pretend play sparked by the presence of their cherished newfound companion!
