The Mother of Liberation embodies active compassion, swift protection, fearlessness, and enlightened wisdom. Her graceful form represents the immediate response of compassion and her readiness to guide beings beyond suffering, fear, and obstacles. She is depicted seated in the Lalitasana (royal ease posture) upon a lotus pedestal, with her right leg extended downward, symbolizing her readiness to rise and assist sentient beings without hesitation. Her right hand rests in the Varada Mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate blessings, while her left hand holds the stem of an utpala lotus near her heart, representing purity, wisdom, and spiritual awakening. The blooming lotus beside her shoulder symbolizes the flourishing of enlightened qualities, while her serene expression, jeweled crown, and celestial ornaments reflect the radiant qualities of a Bodhisattva.

Green Tara, known as the "Savior," is a central figure in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, personifying the feminine aspect of the Buddha's compassion. Legend says she was born from a tear shed by Avalokiteshvara, moved by the suffering of all beings. She is particularly revered for her ability to protect followers from the eight internal and external fears, offering swift intervention and wisdom to those who call upon her through prayer and meditation. Her green hue represents the wind element and the speed with which she answers the cries of the world.
