Magnificent brass sculpture of Goddess Tara, the female Buddha and meditational deity, - considered as the most popular goddess in the Buddhist Pantheon.
Handcrafted in an exquisite green distressed patina and dressed in ornate robes with jewellery, the Goddess is renowned for her universal compassion and one who represents virtuous and enlightened activity.
She is seen sitting here in a posture of ease with her right leg extended, signifying her readiness to spring into action. The left leg is folded in the contemplative position on the lotus pedestal, the two together thus symbolising the integration of wisdom and action.
Her left hand, in the gesture of granting refuge holds the stem of a Lotus that floats over her left shoulder as a symbol of purity and power, with her right hand gracefully lowered in the Varada Mudra , the boon-granting gesture.
The worship of Tara is believed to help one in overcoming fears and anxieties and for her desire to save the people from suffering, said to be even stronger than a mother's love for her children.
