If one person is suffering from lack of confidence it is believed that by praying to Maa Saraswati will help the person to gain confidence.

Academic success : For a student, one of the most important things that signifies their worth is their academic result. It is very important for a student to have an academic result which is directly proportional to the level of hard work they put into their studies.

In India, students pray to the brass idol of Goddess Saraswati to get her blessing of learning, knowledge and wisdom. So that they can perform better in academics.

Blessed Prosperity : In Eastern India, Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Laxmi are considered sisters. Goddess Laxmi is said to be flickering from one person to another while Saraswati is the calm and quiet sister. Despite their different natures, they are always said to be side by side. It is hard to keep Goddess Laxmi at one place but always follow her sister wherever she goes.

It is said in order to have Laxmi in your house you need to welcome saraswati which means true knowledge then automatically the sister goddess Laxmi follows up with her.
