Who Is Green Tara?

Green Tara, (Tibetan: Dölma Jangku)— means "Green Liberatrix." Known in Sanskrit as Shyama Tara, she is the most beloved and widely venerated form of Tara, the female Bodhisattva of swift compassion and liberation. Born from Avalokiteśvara's compassionate tear, Green Tara embodies active, fearless rescue — she acts before being asked, removing obstacles and granting protection instantaneously.

Key Features: Eyes, Hands, and Body Posture

The finely painted eyes are wide, warm, and luminously alert — the gaze of one perpetually watching over all beings. The right hand extends gracefully over the right knee in Varada Mudra, the supreme gesture of boon-granting and boundless generosity. The left hand lifts in Abhaya Mudra, holding a half-opened blue lotus (utpala) — liberation always within reach. Her right leg extends forward in Lalitasana, the posture of royal ease poised for immediate action, while the left remains folded in meditation. She is simultaneously still and ready.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

The green color represents active compassion and the energy of enlightened action moving through the world. The blooming lotus flanking her shoulders symbolizes wisdom flowering from suffering. Turquoise inlays invoke healing and mental clarity; coral channels protection and vital force. The crown's jewels represent the five wisdoms of the awakened mind. The double lotus throne affirms that compassionate action is always rooted in purity, never in ego.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

The Tara Tantra declares: "Tārā sarva-bhayebhyaḥ trāyate" — "Tara rescues all beings from every fear." This statue gives that eternal vow a golden, permanent home. The Newar master craftsmen of Patan, Nepal — heirs to an unbroken 1,500-year tradition — pour that sacred commitment into every 24K gold cast through the ancient lost wax (cire perdue) process.

Sacred Mantra

“Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha”

Meaning: "Om, Tara, Swift Liberator, She Who Removes All Fear, Svaha." 

Chanting this mantra before the statue invokes Tara's immediate protection, dissolves fear and obstacles, and opens the heart to her boundless, swiftly flowing compassion and liberating blessings in every dimension of life.
