Green Tara originated within the Indian Mahayana Buddhist tradition and later became especially prominent in Vajrayana Buddhism. Her worship developed from the broader tradition of Tara, a female bodhisattva associated with compassionate activity and deliverance from suffering. Buddhist accounts describe her as having taken a vow to attain enlightenment in a female form and to continue benefiting sentient beings without changing that form. Her practice later spread from India to Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and Mongolia, where she became one of the most widely revered female figures in Himalayan Buddhism.
