Saraswati bãni
is Shweta Jhaveri's creation in Hindustani classical vocal music. It collectively presents her Khayãl, Dhrupad, Bhajan, other forms and Rãga creations sung by her since her teenage for the past 30 years. Preserving North-Indian classical vocal music under the Mewati traditions, Shweta has also performed her compositions in many rãga-s such as Jog, Abhogi, PuriyaDhanashri, Yaman, chandrakauns and her rãga creations such as KrishnaBhairavi and Nirmohi.

In Hindustani classical music the term bãni in Hindi is the same as vãni hence this creation is also pronounced as SaraswatiVãni. Bãni or Vãni means musical language or style and is related to Dhrupad. The North-Indian bãni is different than the South-Indian bãni. Saraswati vãni's music is performed with traditional manner. Shweta being one of the names of or derived from Saraswati, this creation is named so and dedicates to music.
