Thangkas are vibrant Himalayan paintings that depict various Buddhist deities as described in the canonical texts. This beautiful Thangka painting features the Buddhist deity White Tara. It has been painted in Nepal and mounted on brocade. The colours are vibrant with great attention to detail shown in the work.
White Tara embodies the maternal compassion of Buddhism. She is revered for her healing touch, both physical and mental. White Tara, radiating pure white light, embodies boundless compassion. Her seven eyes represent her omniscient wisdom, enabling her to see all suffering and guide beings towards healing. Three eyes grace her face - the central one symbolizing the unity of truth. Her remaining eyes, one each in her palms and feet, represent her every action overflowing with wisdom and compassion. This powerful image reminds us that White Tara sees and cares for all beings, offering protection and solace on their journey.
White Tara is especially beloved in Tibetan Buddhism, where she is seen as a protector against illness and a bringer of longevity.
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).
