This lyrical piece is an offering to Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu deity of wisdom, knowledge, and the arts. She is a revered figure who blesses all with creativity and inspiration.

Saraswati is traditionally a symbol of purity, simplicity, and true knowledge. In her hands, she holds a veena, a stringed instrument whose music is believed to have created the universe. The veena represents the harmony and creativity that flow from true knowledge.

Through this dance, Nirupama embodies the grace of Saraswati, whose sweet smile shines without end. She is depicted as a wish-fulfilling tree, whose blessings of joy, harmony, and enlightenment flow from the music of her veena.
