Sock monkey goddess


The latest in Flickr user Jek in the Box's series of mystical sock monkeys is "Saras Sock Vati," a Hindu deity in sensible elasticated wool. Don't miss the Sock Buddha and Sock de Milo.

Sarawati is name of Hindu goddess of knowledge, music and other arts. It is also a name of lost river.

I find it odd that she is portrayed as monkey goddess in this sock puppet. In Indian Hindu mythological paintings she is portrayed as fair skinned lady holding a Veena (traditional musical instrument) along with a peacock.
