White Tara

This vibrant Thangka painting depicts a peaceful Bodhisattva, likely White Tara (Sitatara), seated in the full lotus position (vajra posture). The figure has a gentle expression and a light, serene complexion. She is ornately adorned with a crown, flowing silks, and fine jewelry. Her right hand performs the gesture of giving (varada mudra), while her left holds the stem of a blooming white utpala lotus, which rises over her shoulder. She is framed by an archway of foliage and flowers, and a prominent orange halo. The lower section shows a stylized landscape with mountains, a river, and offerings, characteristic of traditional Tibetan Buddhist sacred art.
