With its delicate copper body and 24K gold gilding, this Wisdom White Tara Statue is a work of Nepali artistry. This small but finely crafted work, which stands 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) tall and weighs 1.74 kg, exudes a sense of peace and divine grace.
She is shown peacefully sitting atop a lotus flower in the statue while her left hand portrays the 'Varada mudra,' a gesture of generosity. An Utpala flower or a blue lotus can be seen beside her right shoulder, symbolizing her ability to grant wishes and bestow blessings. Beautiful turquoise and other gemstones have been placed, adding to the beauty of this piece.
White Tara is known as the Female Buddha in the Buddhist tradition. White Tara appears as a female Bodhisattva and goddess to benefit every living being. All the Buddhas granted her empowerment from ten directions, for which she became The GREAT MOTHER from whom all the Buddhas spring forth and one who possesses transcendental wisdom.
