[edit] Kalpana

There is a note on Kalpana, saying the term refers to Saraswati, but there is nothing in this article which mentions Kalpana. Could somebody who is knowledgeable please either add something to this article explaining the connection between the two names, or (if there is none), delete the link on the Kalpana dab page?

I don't see a mention of Saraswati Puja in West Bengal and Nepal during Vasant Panchami. Those are supposed to be two of the biggest celebrations of Saraswati Pujan in India. ~a

[edit] Make it secular

This article needs to be modified to remove honorific elements (capitalizing pronouns) to make this page secular. Kitabparast 05:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three goddesses?

The article immediately begins with "Saraswati is the first of three great goddesses." The three goddesses are in no way "great" in any other aspect than that they are the consorts of the male Devas. If any goddess is great it is Devi, of whom all other goddesses are aspects. I suggest recognizing these three consorts as a triad, rather than as "great goddesses."
