Dukar, or Sitatapatra (White Umbrella Goddess), is a powerful female Buddha revered in Tibetan Buddhism as a supreme protector. She emanates from the crown Ushnisha of Buddha Shakyamuni, symbolizing her capacity to overcome all obstacles, dispel malevolent forces, and grant ultimate protection against all fears, dangers, and negativities. Her mantra is invoked to avert calamities, purify obscurations, and provide a shield against all forms of harm.
