Authentic 30 x 40 Inch Compassionate Goddess Shyama Tara | The Peaceful Deity of Healing and Wisdom | With Naga Kanya Paying Homage
Radiating timeless beauty, this Compassionate Goddess Shyama Tara Thangka stands as a true masterpiece of Tibetan artistry and devotion. Hand-painted on cotton canvas with natural Lhasa stone colors and 24K gold, it showcases artistic mastery and spiritual depth. Using mineral pigments from the Himalayas, it offers rich, lasting hues, while gold highlights add brilliance. Created in the traditional Karma Gadri style, known for serene landscapes and soft color transitions, this thangka embodies harmony of color, composition, and meaning. It is a visual treasure and sacred meditation object radiating Shyama Tara's compassionate presence.
Known as the Mother of All Buddhas, Shyama Tara, or Green Tara, is honored as the goddess of compassion, protection, and quick aid. Buddhist tradition states she arose from Avalokiteshvara's tears of compassion, promising to lead beings to liberation as a woman. Her green color signifies vitality, enlightened energy, and active mercy. Tara’s infinite compassion goes beyond suffering and fear—she is a savior who responds swiftly to the genuine calls of devotees. For ages, practitioners have recited her mantra, Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha, to seek her blessings of safety, courage, and enlightenment.
In this thangka, Shyama Tara is depicted seated on lotus throne, her composed yet vigilant posture exemplifying compassion and preparedness to intervene. Her right leg extends forward, emblematic of her readiness to assist those in distress, while her left leg remains in meditative repose. She performs the varada mudra with her right hand, symbolizing generosity, while cradling a beautiful blue utpala lotus in her left hand, representing purity. Her divine presence is beautifully accentuated by a jeweled crown, shimmering gold embellishments, and flowing silks, all highlighted with luxurious 24K gold. Beneath her, Nagakanya, the serpent goddess, graciously presents jewels and offerings—representing the harmony between the earthly and sacred realms. The warm background evokes a peaceful and calming atmosphere, making it a stunning display of beauty, deep symbolism, and serenity.
Invite this divine thangka into your space to bless your home or altar with Tara’s compassionate energy, peace, and spiritual awakening. Let her gentle gaze guide you toward enlightenment and inner calm.
