Description
The Supreme Mother Jetsun Dolma (Green Tara) Thangka | Greenery of LHASA Stone Pigments
Green Tara, also referred to as the Supreme Mother Jetsun Dolma, embodies compassion, healing, and protection. As one of the most cherished deities in Tibetan Buddhism, she is recognized for her quick responses in helping those in distress. Devotees frequently invoke her for safety from fear, as well as for peace, abundance, and tranquility. The depiction of Green Tara in this exquisite Thangka highlights her serene and kind nature, reclining gracefully on a blooming lotus, which represents the growth of virtues and enlightenment. Her green skin reflects the dynamic aspect of compassion, showcasing Tara’s capacity to promptly assist and alleviate suffering for all sentient beings.
Created from a blend of premium materials, this exquisite Thangka showcases the sacred attributes of Green Tara while honoring traditional Tibetan Buddhist artistry. The Thangka's foundation consists of high-quality cotton canvas, a classic medium that allows the piece to breathe and age beautifully while retaining its vividness. Gold accents enhance the Thangka's spiritual vibrancy, applied thoughtfully to the most sacred features of the deity and scene, including Green Tara's halos, crowns, and jewelry, as well as some surrounding decorative patterns.
The colors in the painting come from natural stones, a technique that has been used for centuries in Tibetan Thangka art. These stone pigments provide vibrant and durable color, with each shade made from ground stones combined with water and a binder. They depict Tara's green skin, the fine details of her clothing, and the stunning floral patterns that frame her. This artwork follows the traditional Karma Gadri style, recognized for its delicate line work and emphasis on the figure's realism. Karma Gadri paintings often showcase the nuances of facial features, postures, and divine attributes, employing subtle shading and intricate details to achieve depth and elegance.
Featuring authentic 24K gold, natural stone hues, and the Karma Gadri style, this Thangka is designed to be a vibrant and significant piece of spiritual art for years ahead. Whether placed in a temple, meditation area, or home, it stands as a reminder of Green Tara's limitless compassion, providing protection, peace, and healing to anyone in search of it.
