The iconography of the statue is rendered with precise detail, featuring Green Tara seated upon a double lotus throne with her right leg extended in a posture of ease, supported by a small lotus pedestal. Her right hand is lowered in the mudra of supreme generosity, while her left hand is raised to her chest in the gesture of refuge and protection. She is flanked by two blooming lotus flowers that rise to her shoulders. Her form is adorned with an elaborate five-pointed crown, necklaces, armlets, and anklets, all inlaid with turquoise and coral-colored stones. Her hair is painted in a deep blue acrylic, and her serene facial features are highlighted with gold and delicate pigment.

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Green Tara (Sanskrit: Syamatara) is revered as a female Buddha and a bodhisattva of enlightened activity. Believed to have arisen from a compassionate tear of Avalokiteshvara, she made a vow to remain in female form to demonstrate that enlightenment is attainable by all. As the 'Mother of all Buddhas,' she represents the swift and active aspect of compassion, offering protection from the eight great fears and guiding beings toward liberation.
