She embodies lotus flower at one or both of her shoulders. She is settled in full vajra posture, her left hand in guidance gesture holding the stem of the lotus. She is wearing all sorts of inestimable ornaments which looks charming and beautiful. The practice of White Tara helps to prolong life and in healing purposes.
