A White Tara thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist artwork that depicts White Tara, the goddess of compassion and long life. She is portrayed with a peaceful and compassionate expression, seated in a lotus position on a lotus flower, which signifies purity and enlightenment. White Tara is distinctively marked by her seven eyes: one on each palm and foot, and three on her face (including one on her forehead), symbolizing her ability to see the suffering of all beings and her omniscience. She typically holds a blue lotus (utpala) in her left hand, which is a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening. The background of the thangka is often adorned with intricate patterns, deities, and symbolic motifs, creating a rich tapestry of spiritual significance. Thangkas serve as visual aids for meditation and are used in various religious rituals to invoke the blessings of White Tara.
