Green
Tara is seated on a double lotus throne in lalita asana. She is a
beautiful young maiden. Tara's right hand is shown in varada mudra
(boon-granting gesture) because she is quick to respond to the petitions of
those who seek her aid. She is holding the stem of lotus flowers in both
of her hands.
She is adorned with five jewels symbolizing the five Dhyani Buddhas. She
wears six types of ornaments including necklace, earrings, bracelets and so
forth, symbolizing her perfection of the six paramitas. He left hand makes
the refuge gesture by pressing the thumb and ring fingers together, symbolizing
the unity of wisdom and compassion; the other three fingers denote the triple
jewels, namely, the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.
In both of her hands she is holding utpala flowers, symbolizing her purity.
Green Tara is often known as the liberator who rescues beings from the eight
great fears aroused by elephants, lions, snakes, robbers, fire, water, demons
and the government.
The artist has given the completed piece a different texture not the traditional
Newar finishing, making this particular piece quite unique!
