Iconography & Sacred Assembly

This Thangka reveals a comprehensive mandala of liberation. It unites the swift action of Tara with the elemental wisdom of the Five Buddha Families.

Central Deity – Green Tara

Green Tara sits at the center in the posture of royal ease. Her green body represents the wind element and active compassion.

• Gesture: Her right hand rests in the boon-granting mudra; her left holds the refuge gesture.

• Sacred Object: She holds the stem of a blue Utpala lotus, symbolizing purity and freedom.

• Presence: Her right leg is extended, ready to step down and help you instantly.

Top Realm – The Five Wisdom Buddhas

Tara is crowned by the Five Dhyani Buddhas, representing the transformation of all negative emotions into wisdom.

• Center:

  Vairochana (White) – Transforms ignorance into All-Pervading Wisdom.

• Left Side:

  Akshobhya (Blue) & Ratnasambhava (Yellow) – Transform anger and pride into clarity and equanimity.

• Right Side:

  Amitabha (Red) & Amoghasiddhi (Green) – Transform desire and jealousy into discernment and accomplishment.

Lower Realm – Protection & Arts

Two distinct goddesses support the base of the throne.

• Lower Left: Sitatapatra (Dhukkar) – The Goddess of the White Parasol. She protects you from supernatural danger and malicious gossip.

• Lower Right: Saraswati (Yangchenma) – The Goddess of Music and Wisdom. She blesses artists, students, and writers with creativity.

Sacred Background & Landscape

Unlike standard green landscapes, this piece features a dynamic, warm atmosphere.

• The Clouds: Swirling red and vermillion clouds frame the deities. This color symbolizes power, magnetism, and the active control of energy.

• Style: The vibrant red contrasts beautifully with the green and blue bodies of the deities.

• Essence: A realm that is alive, fiery, and flowing with power.

Artisan Mastery

Creating an assembly of eight distinct figures requires master-level precision. The artist has balanced the composition perfectly.

• Tradition: Painted by a lineage master of the Kathmandu Valley.
