Pustaka

A book, traditionally made of palm
leaves connected by a string running
through a hole punched in the middle,
with a wooden cover on top and bottom
to keep the leaves from being bent or
broken. In Indian iconography, the book
is most strongly associated with the
goddess Saraswati, in keeping with her
identity as the patron deity of the arts,
culture, and learning. It also commonly
appears as one of the objects held by the
god Brahma.
