Compassion and Protection Deity Oxidized Green Tara for Your Shrine
Oxidized Green Tara for the Shrine statue exemplifies the remarkable workmanship of Patan's metal artists, with each detail delicately molded utilizing traditional techniques passed down through centuries. The statue, crafted from oxidized copper, has a rich, aged finish that represents Green Tara's ageless position as a guardian and guide. The oxidized copper body with triple layer 24K gold gilding, and deeply engraved carvings add to her royal and heavenly presence, while the silver plating and hand-painted acrylic accents accentuate her delicate features and elaborate adornments.
Green Tara is especially revered in ceremonies designed to reduce fear, overcome difficulties, and provide protection from harm. Her right hand is in the Varada Mudra, the giving gesture, which offers blessings and protection to people in need. In her left hand, she holds a blue lotus (utpala), symbolizing purity, compassion, and her strong connection to the enlightened mind. She symbolizes the active side of compassion, always ready to assist her believers. Her brilliant green hue represents her active energy and the protection she provides to all beings.

Tara is the savior, the personification of compassion, the one who reaches out and freely replies to everyone who is suffering. Tara is courageous and generous to a fault. Green Tara and White Tara are her most popular incarnations, though she occasionally appears as Red Tara in Dakini form. "Om tare tuttare ture svaha," says Green Tara. White Tara's mantra is "om tare tuttare ture mama ayu Punya jnana pushtim kuru svaha," which means "om tare tuttare ture mama ayu Punya jnana pushtim kuru svaha."
