In Tibetan Buddhism, Green Tara embodies active compassion and swift action. She is known as a protector who comes quickly to the aid of those in distress, depicted with her right leg slightly extended, her foot resting on a small lotus, ready to rise and help at any moment.

 

This statue was crafted in copper and hand-painted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas. The face is finished in fine gold, while the body is kept in a rich green. Two lotus blossoms, one pink and one purple, rise on either side, framed by an intricately worked crown.

 

Her right hand shows the gesture of giving, while her left holds the stem of an utpala, the blue lotus flower, at heart level. On an altar or meditation space, this statue becomes a quiet companion for anyone seeking protection and inner courage.
