She is a beautiful young maiden. Her right hand is in varada mudra because she is quick to respond to the petition of those who seek her aid. She is holding the stem of lotus flowers in both her hands. Green Tara is adorned with five jewels symbolizing the five Dhyani Buddhas. She wears six different ornaments including necklace, earrings, bracelets, and so forth, symbolizing her perfection of the six paramitas. Her 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. She is often known as the liberator who rescues beings from the eight great fears. This depiction of Green Tara is common in Nepali Newari sculpture.
