From an ancient river in India to a Goddess inspiring art, music and learning across Asia, Saraswati flows through history, myth and human creativity. Honoured in sacred texts, celebrated in Bali’s vibrant rituals and revered from Nepal to Japan, she embodies wisdom, inspiration and the eternal current of thought. Her presence reminds us that knowledge and creativity are never still, they ripple, dance and transform, shaping both the world and the mind.

Pura Penataran Sasih, founded in 1266 AD, was once the state temple of the Pejeng kingdom. Set in the fertile Petauan River valley, it reflects Bali’s ancient ties between ritual and agriculture. At its centre lies the Moon of Pejeng, a 2000 year old bronze drum and the largest single-cast of its kind in the world.
