She is shown seated in the lalitasana posture. Her right leg is extended forward, ready to step down and take action, while her left leg is drawn up in a relaxed pose, signifying both readiness and repose. Green Tara’s face is serene, with a gentle, knowing smile that radiates warmth and kindness, reflecting her deep compassion and nurturing qualities. Her right hand extends over her knee in the varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and granting boons. This symbolizes her readiness to offer help and blessings to devotees. She holds the stem of a blue utpala (lotus) flower between her thumb and ring finger. The three raised fingers represent the Three Jewels of Buddhism: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Green Tara is richly adorned with a jeweled crown, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and anklets, signifying her enlightened and royal qualities, as well as the inner riches of wisdom and compassion. A halo often radiates from behind her, emphasizing her divine and enlightened nature.
