This exquisite Green Tara Ritual Statue is meticulously handcrafted by skilled Nepali artisans, preserving the timeless traditions of Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship. Standing 13.58 inches (34.5 cm) in height with an 11.41-inch (29 cm) base and weighing 5.45 kg, this elegant sculpture is expertly crafted from a copper body and richly adorned with radiant 24K gold gilding, vibrant acrylic painting, and carefully inlaid gemstones.

The statue portrays Green Tara seated gracefully in lalitasana (the posture of royal ease) upon a beautifully sculpted lotus throne, with her right leg extended to symbolize her readiness to respond swiftly to the prayers of all beings, while her left leg remains folded in meditation. Her right hand is displayed in Varada Mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassion, while her left hand is held in Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching, delicately holding the stem of a blooming blue utpala lotus. She is adorned with an elaborate five-jeweled crown, elegant earrings, layered necklaces, armlets, bracelets, anklets, jeweled girdles, and flowing celestial garments enriched with radiant 24K gold gilding, colorful acrylic painting, and hand-set gemstones. Her serene expression and finely sculpted ornaments beautifully showcase the remarkable craftsmanship of skilled Nepali artisans.

Green Tara is one of the most beloved figures in Vajrayana Buddhism, recognized as the female embodiment of the Buddha’s active compassion. Legend speaks of her birth from a tear shed by Avalokiteshvara, manifesting to assist him in his mission to end worldly suffering and provide refuge. She is frequently invoked for protection from fear and for her ability to help practitioners overcome obstacles through her swift and enlightened energy.
