Her right hand performs the Varada Mudra, granting boons and compassion and offering blessings to those seeking her aid. In her left hand, held in Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching and discussion, she also delicately holds a lotus, symbolizing spiritual blossoming and purity untouched by suffering. Distinctively, White Tara is depicted with seven eyes—two on her face, one on her forehead, and one on each of her hands and feet—symbolizing her boundless perception and all-seeing wisdom that perceives the suffering of all beings. Adorned with a five-Dhyani Buddha crown, she represents the five transcendent wisdoms that dissolve delusion and awaken enlightened awareness. Her divine ornaments—necklaces, bracelets, and flowing silks—emphasize her radiant, celestial form.
