Introduction To Goddess White Tara
White Tara Thangka Painting is a meditation deity worshipped by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and to understand outer, inner and secret teachings such as compassion, loving-kindness, and shunyata (emptiness).
Tara may more properly be understood as different aspects of the same quality, as bodhisattvas are often considered metaphors for Buddhist virtues.

What not to do to the thangka?
When a thangka is not on display, it is usually rolled and stored with other paintings. Pressure from its own weight causes cracking of the ground and paint layers. Rolling and unrolling worsen the damage and eventually result in complete separation and flaking of the paint. Thangka’s that do not have brocade may also be folded, resulting in vertical and horizontal cracking.
