The appealing aspect of any polytheistic religion is that each of the different gods and goddesses in its pantheon is always allocated some specific tasks to perform or, maybe more accurately, a specific authority to deal with a particular issue. Monotheistic religions lack this multiplicity of divine attributes. Gods and goddesses in polytheistic religions evolve with time, taking on new roles and characteristics. An important deity may fade into obscurity over time, whereas a minor deity may gain popularity. However, a prominent deity may adopt a new identity and continue to be important while performing an entirely different task. At the philosophical level, Hinduism is unquestionably monotheistic in nature, yet at the grassroots level, it shows the traits of a polytheistic religion. In Hinduism, Devi Saraswati is one such deity who has evolved from a revered river goddess to the goddess of knowledge, speech, and art over time. Gemini_Generated_Image_p2facyp2f...
