Iconography and Deep Symbolism

• Compassion in Action: Green Tara represents swift compassionate activity. Her image serves as a reminder to respond to others with kindness and generosity.
• The Seated Posture: Her right leg extends forward onto a small lotus support while her left remains folded. The extended leg traditionally signifies readiness to rise and assist beings.
• The Right Hand — Generosity: Her lowered right hand, with its palm facing outward, forms the varada mudra, the gesture of giving or generosity.
• The Raised Left Hand and Flowers: Her left hand is raised near the chest, with a flower stem rising beside it. The shoulder flowers recall the utpala, or blue lotus, associated with Tara in traditional Buddhist imagery.
• The Lotus Pedestal: The lotus traditionally symbolises purity and spiritual awakening, reflecting a blossom that emerges from muddy water without being stained by it.
• The Crown and Jewellery: Her crown, layered necklaces and flowing ornaments belong to the richly adorned form of peaceful Buddhist deities. In traditional interpretations, these ornaments express enlightened qualities.

Artisanal Excellence

Made in Patan, this statue combines reflective gold plated surfaces with detailed decorative work. Scrolling patterns extend across the garments and rear of the figure, while the crown, earrings and layered necklaces carry red coral and blue lapis lazuli accents. The lotus pedestal and projecting foot support complete the composition.

The face is painted with gold powder and finished with defined eyes, brows and red lips. Dark painted hair contrasts with the gold finish, while the shoulder flowers, curved stems and flowing scarf ornaments create an intricate outline around the seated figure.

Caring for Your Statue

• Placement: Keep in a clean, dry location, away from direct sunlight, moisture and extreme humidity, to preserve the gold plated finish.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe with clean, dry cotton. Do not use water, polishes or cleaning chemicals, as these may damage the plating and painted details. Avoid coarse materials or rubbing the painted face.
• Stability: At approximately 4.880 kg, the statue should stand on a sturdy, level surface.
• Handling: Lift carefully from the base with both hands. Avoid touching the painted face or applying pressure to the crown, flowers and stems, fingers, scarf ornaments and decorative accents.
• Storage: If not displayed, store in a dry place with soft protective wrapping. Avoid tight wrapping or pressure against the painted face and delicate raised details.
