Green Tara

This beautiful thangka depicts Green Tara, the female Bodhisattva of enlightened activity and compassion, rendered with a serene, light-green complexion. She is seated on a multi-layered pink and red lotus throne, with her right leg slightly extended, ready to spring into action to help others. Tara is adorned with elaborate gold jewelry and a crown, and her garments are vibrant with blues, reds, and golds. She holds the stem of a blue Utpala lotus in each hand, which bloom over her shoulders. A bright pink halo frames her head, and she is set against a detailed landscape of flowing water, stylized mountains, and golden clouds, symbolizing her transcendence and earthly presence.
