Tibetan Thangka of Meditating White Tara

Tibetan Thangka of Meditating White Tara is handpainted in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is painted on cotton canvas using naturally available colors. 

White Tara, also known as the "Mother of all Buddhas," is the ultimate embodiment of graceful strength, wisdom, and pureness. 

Gesture and Posture of White tara

She is seated in lotus position with the soles of her feet pointing upward.

Her left-hand holds a beautiful blue lotus flower and her right hand is extended to her knee in the mudra of compassion.

She has seven eyes symbolizing her power to see human afflictions. The name Tara means “the one who saves” and she has the power to alleviate people from suffering.

While meditating one can gaze in between the offering deities beneath the White Tara and the Dhyani Buddhas above her.

Another power of White Tara is to generate energy for good health and longevity.

To present a newborn baby with a thangka painting of White Tara is considered to bring good fortune and wish a long life ahead.
