Saraswati is depicted on the water's edge. In Sanskrit, Saraswati means "the one who has water (lake)", and she is also said to be the goddess of water and fertility. In India's oldest scripture, the Rig Veda, she was originally an incarnation of the sacred river Saraswati (whose identity is disputed). She was turned into a flowing river, and she became the goddess of everything that flows (words, speech, knowledge, music, etc.).
