Who are the Taras?

The 21 Taras are the compassionate manifestations of the supreme mother goddess Tara, each embodying unique qualities to protect and guide practitioners through life's obstacles. Born from Avalokiteshvara's tears of compassion, these divine feminine energies represent swift action, protection, and liberation. This spectacular ensemble showcases Green Tara at the center, surrounded by her twenty emanations, creating a complete mandala of divine feminine power.

Divine Assembly: Eyes, Hands, and Sacred Postures

Green Tara sits gracefully at the heart of an elaborate golden aureole, her right leg extended in lalitasana—ready to leap into action to aid devotees. Her compassionate eyes gaze lovingly downward, while her hands form the varada mudra of granting wishes and hold delicate lotus flowers. The surrounding twenty Taras, each uniquely painted in vibrant colors, sit upon miniature stupas adorned with colorful blossoms. The magnificent tree-of-life backdrop features cascading leaves, flowers, and dharma symbols, creating a celestial garden. The multi-tiered 24k gold-gilded base showcases intricate carved motifs and mythical creatures.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

This complete set represents the full spectrum of Tara's protective powers—from dispelling fears and granting wisdom to bestowing wealth and health. The vibrant colors distinguish each Tara's specific blessing, while the tree structure symbolizes spiritual growth and enlightenment's fruition.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

The Tara Tantra proclaims: "She who liberates, the mother of all Buddhas, swift protectress who responds to those who call upon her name."
