Green Tara, Harit Tara, the Buddha of Enlightened Activity is Tara's most
dynamic manifestation. She is considered the consort of Amoghasiddhi.
In sculpture, Green Tara is portrayed in the same form as White Tara but she has
a water lily (utpala) with petals half closed on her right. She is
depicted in a posture of ease (lalita asana) with her right leg extended. The
left leg is folded in the contemplative position on the single
lotus throne.
Her left hand, in the
gesture of refuge, holds the stem of a lotus
that floats
over her left shoulder as a symbol of purity and power. Her right hand is in
varada mudra or the
boon-granting gesture.
This piece has a slender and beautifully proportioned body. The splendor of her
ornaments is remarkable. The entire piece is bedecked with semi-precious stones
and her robe is incised with floral motifs. Her jewelry includes bracelets,
several necklaces and a multi stringed, long jewel chain that sinuously falls
around her body and over her right arm. The bottom of the piece is sealed with
a chakra (wheel) a symbol of absolute completeness.
The followers of Green Tara believe that her special powers will help overcome
dangers, fears, and anxieties, and that she will grant wishes. She is also
believed to help one cross over from danger to safety or from suffering to
happiness.
