Gayatri

Illustration by [[Raja Ravi Verma]]. In illustrations, the goddess often sits on a [[Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]] flower and appears with five heads and five pairs of hands. Gayatri (Sanskrit: गायत्री, IAST: Gāyatrī) is the personified form of the Gayatri Mantra, a popular hymn from Vedic texts. She is also known as Savitri, and holds the title of ''Vedamata'' ('mother of the Vedas'). Gayatri is the manifestation of Saraswati and is often associated with Savitṛ, a solar deity in the Vedas, and her consort in the Puranas is the creator god Brahma. Gayatri is also an epithet for the various goddesses and she is also identified as "Supreme pure consciousness". Provided by Wikipedia
