Thangkas are vibrant Himalayan paintings that depict various Buddhist deities as described in the canonical texts. This beautiful Thangka painting features the Buddhist deity Green Tara. It has been painted in Nepal and mounted on brocade. The colours are vibrant with great attention to detail shown in the work.
Tara, the "mother of liberation," is a revered Buddhist deity embodying compassion, wisdom, and enlightened action. She is believed to swiftly answer the prayers of those in need, offering protection, solace, and guidance on the path to spiritual liberation. Her profound compassion is likened to a mother's love, extending to all beings as she works tirelessly to relieve suffering. Green Tara has her right leg extended outwards, symbolising her willingness to spring into action and help all sentient beings immediately.
Tara is the power of the feminine spirit in Buddhism and inspires countless devotees to embody her qualities in their own lives.
A thangka like this is considered a most auspicious gift to give to someone to mark a significant milestone (wedding, new venture, new home, etc).
