Iconography & Sacred Assembly

This painting captures Tara in her rare role as Dhwajagrakeyura, the "Averter of Armies." The combination of fine painting and sculptural gold makes her presence undeniable.

Central Figure – Warrior Green Tara

She stands in the Pratyalidha (Warrior) stance, dynamic and fearless.

• The 4 Arms:

  • Upper Right: Wields the Flaming Sword to cut through ignorance and conflict.

  • Upper Left: Holds the Shield of Protection to deflect physical and spiritual attacks.

  • Main Hands: Perform a mudra at her heart, showing her war is driven by compassion, not anger.

• The Gold Relief: Her crown, jewelry, and the hilt of her sword are crafted from thick, embossed gold plate. You can feel the cold, smooth metal ridges with your fingertips.

• The Mount: She tramples negativity while standing on a Garuda. This mythical bird conquers poisons and snake spirits (nagas).

Sacred Background & Landscape

The setting is dramatic and intense, reflecting the deity's power.

• The Wisdom Fire:

  She is surrounded by a blazing aura of swirling flames (Agni). The fire consumes all obstacles and bad karma.

• Celestial Balance:

  The Sun and Moon float in the upper corners against a dark, moody sky. They represent the perfect union of Wisdom and Compassion.

• Newari Aesthetics:

  The deep, saturated background colors are designed specifically to make the Gold Plate pop and shimmer.

Artisan Mastery

This is a museum-quality piece. The "Gold Plate" technique is a specialized skill found only among the best Newari artists.

• Technique:

  The artist builds a clay base for the ornaments before applying sheets of pure 24K gold. This creates a permanent, sculpture-like texture.

• Precision:

  Look at the feathers on the Garuda and the tiny skulls in her crown. The detail is painted with a single-hair brush.

• Value:

  This uses significant amounts of real gold, making it not just art, but a precious asset.

Spiritual Application

This Thangka is not for passive decoration; it is for active spiritual defense.

• Protection:

  Place this in your home to ward off legal disputes, conflicts, or jealousy from others.

• Empowerment:

  The Sword and Shield remind you that you have the inner resources to defend your boundaries.

• Tactile Connection:

  Touching the raised gold allows for a physical connection to the deity during prayer.
