Saraswathi

 

This is a vigraha of Saraswathi - 16 feet tall, made out of marble stone & is perhaps the tallest Saraswathi idol .

  Highlighting that Saraswathi is the Goddess of  'study/education', there are three students sitting  therein and studying.

THIS IS  installed in the Indonesian Embassy in Washington ,
by the Indonesian Govt ,
depicting Indonesia's proud heritage. 

Though Indonesia is the largest
Muslim country and sends the highest number of pilgrims for Haj, they  follow many traditions followed by Hindus in India.

School students who go
to School after bowing to Saraswathi, also do 'namaaz' five times a day.

Some of the best Ramaleela dramas are staged by Indonesian artistes. 

The  water mark on their currency note is Ganesha. Indonesian national airlines  is called Garuda.  Kubera is considered as the God of wealth.

Islam is  their religion and Hinduism IS their soul.
