21 Tara

The 21 Tara Thangka is a richly detailed and spiritually potent Tibetan Buddhist painting that depicts the 21 forms of Tara, a revered female deity embodying compassion and protection. Tara, known as the “Mother of Liberation,” is a savior who responds swiftly to the prayers of those in need. In this thangka, Green Tara, the primary form, is often placed at the center, symbolizing her role as the compassionate protector. She is depicted with a calm and compassionate expression, seated on a lotus throne, with one leg slightly extended, ready to spring into action to aid those who call upon her.
