But, now, no one even remembers such a river. Until one day, Mrs. Sivakami, the principal of the school, finds Goddess Saraswati wandering through the corridors of her school, searching for the river that bears Her name. Goddess Saraswati takes the principal with her on her swan, Hansa, to look for the river. During the journey, Mrs. Sivakami learns a few things about the concept of education, and the things that could be wrong with the current system. She also learns that the River Saraswati no longer flows through her school because her students are no longer inquisitive about things. Can she find a way to rekindle her student s interest in learning and bring back the river? The book has many interesting line drawing illustrations to accompany the story.
