Well ...well, there are many interesting stories regarding Brahma and Saraswathi's relationship!
A legend in the "Matsya Purana" stated that Brahma at first has only one head- Brahma sculpted Saraswathi from his own immaculate substance. Brahma started looking at her with lustful eyes, 'how beautiful and alluring she is!' Sarasvati turned to the right side from his gaze; as Brahma wished to look at her, a second head issued from his body.
As Sarasvati moved to the left, and behind him, to avoid his amorous glances, two other heads successively appeared. At length she sprang into the sky; and as Brahma was anxious to gaze after her there, a fifth head was immediately formed. The legend further states that Sarasvati ran to Lord Shiva for help, who got angry with Brahma for such felony and severed his 5th head!
Later, Brahma said to Sarasvati, 'Let us produce all kinds of animated beings, men, suras (gods), and asuras (demons). Hearing this, she descended, and Brahma having espoused her, they withdrew to a secluded spot where they dwelt together for one hundred years; at the expiration of which time was born Manu!!
The Mahabharata says that Siva was cut Brahma's one head out of his five heads because of his attempts to seduce his own daughter Saraswathi who was created by Brahma only. This crime was attempted when he was in a fit of intoxication.
According to another legend, when Lord Brahma became overpowered by the ethereal beauty of Saraswati, she changed her forms to escape from Brahma's sexual overtures. But He did not give up. Finally, unable to control Her anger, the Goddess cursed Brahma that He would not be worshipped by any being on Earth. Hence, Brahma is not worshipped in Hinduism in spite of being the Creator. Brahma's lust signifies the fall of humanity. There is no temple for Brahma on earth. But recently I read somewhere that there was a temple for him either in Srilanka or in South India.
