Shichiwatari Benzaiten refers to a form of Benzaiten, the deity of eloquence, music, water, and wealth who originated from the Hindu goddess Saraswati and was assimilated into Japanese Buddhist and Shinto traditions. The name "Shichiwatari" is associated with particular shrines or local traditions where this manifestation of Benzaiten is enshrined, often near water sources such as rivers, ponds, or the sea, reflecting her broader association with flowing waters. As with other forms of Benzaiten, devotees have historically sought her favor in matters of fortune, artistic skill, and prosperity, though specific claims about this form's efficacy should be understood as traditional beliefs rather than verified fact.
