Green Tara

Green Tara

Dimensions: Height 83 cm, width 65 cm, depth 50 cm

This statue of Green Tara was handcrafted in Nepal by a Nepalese artist. Handmade statues are created with exclusive details, and with love and devotion, which is why they are unique.

Here, Green Tara shines with her lush diadem, earrings, and ornamental bracelets. She is wrapped in a highly detailed dhoti, and the soft folds and intricate borders of her blouse (choli) bring her lithe body to life.

The luxuriously detailed carvings of floral motifs on her dhoti, the Dharma Chakra, and the swans are the fine work of a master artisan.

Green Tara is in a pose of elegant repose with royal ease: her right foot rests on an extended lotus. Her left hand in the jhana mudra, the gesture of teaching, complements her right hand which is elegantly arched in the varada mudra, the gesture of giving. Two lotus flowers sprout from each of her hands. Her body is youthful and lavish, representative of that delightful aspect of Tara which is wisdom, compassion, and strength expressed in the form of an eternally young 16-year-old girl. This is an exceptional piece that beautifully expresses the eternal beauty and resonant power of the incarnate Goddess.
