Measuring 56.5 cm (22.24 inches) in height with a 41.5 cm (16.34 inches) base and weighing 11.13 kg, it features a copper body enhanced with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect, gold and acrylic painting, and carefully set gemstones.

Green Tara is represented in an elegant and dynamic position, seated on a brilliant lotus throne, symbolizing her unlimited compassion and willingness to help people in need. Her right leg is extended forward, an intentional gesture indicating her active involvement in easing the suffering of sentient creatures and her prompt response to their pleas. Her hands, loaded with profound symbolism, accentuate her celestial nature. The right hand is extended in the "gesture of giving" (Varada Mudra), symbolizing her unlimited generosity and willingness to bestow blessings, abundance, and protection on all who call upon her. This act symbolizes her maternal nature and her role as a source of comfort and support. In her left hand, she softly cradles a blue lotus (Utpala), which represents purity, spiritual enlightenment, and transcendence. The lotus, unaffected by the muck from which it emerges, represents enlightenment free of worldly attachments. Green Tara holds the Utpala to provide confidence and direction, reminding seekers of the road to inner purity and the possibility of spiritual development.

Green Tara is one of the most revered figures in Tibetan Buddhism, honored as the female Buddha of enlightened activity and compassionate action. According to tradition, she emerged from the tears of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), the Buddha of Compassion, and vowed to assist all sentient beings in overcoming suffering and attaining liberation. Her green color symbolizes active compassion, swift response, and her connection to the flourishing qualities of wisdom, protection, and spiritual growth.
