This exquisite 46cm Green Tara statue represents the pinnacle of Nepalese master craftsmanship—a pure copper hand-carved masterwork featuring traditional hand-painted details with precious mineral pigments, genuine gemstone inlay, and the distinctive green complexion that gives this deity her name.
Green Tara sits in lalitasana—the posture of royal ease—with her right leg extended, symbolizing her readiness to rise and spring into action to protect beings from danger. Her right hand rests on her knee in varada mudra (the gesture of supreme giving), bestowing blessings and fulfilling the wishes of those who call upon her. Her left hand holds the stem of a blue utpala lotus that blossoms at her shoulder, representing purity emerging from the muddy waters of samsara.
Every element of this masterwork reflects the highest artistic standards. Her body is painted with precious mineral pigments in the traditional green hue—applied in layers to create depth and luminosity. Her legs feature the characteristic red pigment specified in the request, creating a striking contrast that follows precise iconographic conventions while demonstrating the artisan's mastery of traditional painting techniques.
Expertly hand-carved from pure copper by master artisans of Nepal, this substantial 46cm sculpture captures every intricate detail: the serene expression with downcast eyes embodying compassionate awareness, the elaborate five-jewel crown, the flowing silk garments with delicate folds, and the gracefully curling stems of the utpala lotuses that frame her figure.
Genuine gemstones are hand-set throughout—in the crown, earrings, necklace, bracelets, and anklets—adding splendor to this sacred representation. Each stone is carefully selected and individually placed, catching light and adding to the statue's radiant presence.
The hand-painted finish brings the deity to life with traditional mineral pigments, following the specific color requirements: the body in luminous green, the legs in rich red, and the details of her ornaments and garments highlighted with precision. The face is painted with particular care—the three eyes (including the wisdom eye in her forehead) rendered with fine brushwork, her expression peaceful yet dynamically present.
As the swift savior who responds instantly to calls for help, Green Tara holds a special place in the hearts of Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. Her mantra, "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha," is recited for protection, healing, and the removal of obstacles on the spiritual path. This 46cm statue serves as a powerful focal point for practice, creating a sacred atmosphere that supports meditation and devotion.
Each piece is individually hand-carved and painted as a unique masterwork by master artisans of Nepal, with subtle variations that reflect its authentic handmade origin and artistic heritage from the Kathmandu Valley. The combination of pure copper construction, precious mineral pigments, genuine gemstone inlay, and traditional iconographic precision represents the finest in Himalayan sacred art—a transmission of living artistic tradition and the swift, compassionate presence of the Mother of Liberation.
