Our handcrafted 9-inch Green Tara Statue is a graceful example of traditional Himalayan Buddhist art, created by master Newar artisans in Patan, Nepal using the centuries-old lost-wax casting technique. Finished with a rich antiqued bronze patina, this elegant sculpture highlights Green Tara’s serene expression and compassionate presence while preserving the timeless appearance of classical Tibetan Buddhist sculpture. Green Tara, known throughout Tibet as Dolma, embodies enlightened compassion expressed through swift and fearless action, always ready to come to the aid of those who sincerely call upon her.
The finely sculpted Bodhisattva crown, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and flowing silk scarves have all been individually hand finished before receiving their antiqued copper finish. Upon request, our artisans are pleased to embellish the crown and jewelry with genuine turquoise and red coral stones before shipment as a complimentary customization, creating an even more vibrant and traditional appearance.
Masterpiece Green Tara Statue Features
Green Tara is immediately recognized by her distinctive posture ー Lalitasana ー also known as the “posture of royal ease”. While her left leg remains folded in meditation, her right leg extends gracefully forward, symbolizing her readiness to arise instantly in response to the prayers of sentient beings. This dynamic seated posture distinguishes her from many other peaceful Bodhisattvas and reflects her reputation as the swift liberator from fear and suffering.
Elegant lotus stems rise naturally from either side of the deity, supporting utpala lotus flowers over her right shoulder and the unopened lotus over her left. In Buddhist symbolism the lotus represents purity and spiritual awakening, flourishing above muddy waters just as wisdom and compassion arise beyond the confusion of samsara. Learn more about Green Tara’s meaning and symbolism in our complete Tara guide.
Her lowered right hand displays the varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate giving, while her raised left hand forms the gesture of refuge and protection. Together these sacred mudras express Green Tara’s promise to offer both blessings and fearless protection to devoted practitioners.
The sculpture rests upon a beautifully proportioned single lotus pedestal, with each lotus petal individually hand carved by skilled Nepalese craftsmen. The oxidized bronze finish subtly emphasizes the depth of the carving, allowing the intricate jewelry, flowing garments, and lotus throne to stand out with remarkable clarity while giving the statue a distinguished antique appearance.
