Green Tara Original Hand-Painted Tibetan Thangka: According to the legend, Tara is an emanation of Chengrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Once when Chengrezig was very moved by the suffering of all sentient beings, he shed two tears. The tear from his right eye turned into the green form of Tara and the tear from his left eye turned into the white form. Green Tara is adorned in silken garments and jeweled ornaments. The main difference in the iconography between the green Tara and the white Tara is the position of the legs. Green Tara sits in a posture of ease, with one leg drawn towards her and the other resting on a lotus bud that springs from the pedestal. Her hands are in the mudra of perfect generosity, holding the stems of blue lotus showing a peaceful and smiling expression. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Size: 18"/ 46 cm (width) x 24"/ 61 cm (height) Materials: Cotton Canvas, Acrylic Colors, Genuine 24K Gold ------------------------------------------------------------------ THIS THANGKA IS HAND-PAINTED IN THE TRADITIONAL STYLE AND THE QUALITY IS HIGH ------------------------------------------------------------------ Framing: -Not mounted on a traditional brocade -Tibetan Silk brocade is available in a variety of colors and quality -Additional 3 business days for this service ------------------------------------------------------------------
