Vintage Thangka "White Tara"

This tangka depicts the White Tara, an important female manifestation of compassion in Tibetan Buddhism. She sits in a meditative posture on a lotus throne. The white lotus blossoms around her symbolize purity and spiritual awakening. Her right hand often shows the gesture of giving (Varadamudra), while the left hand is held in the gesture of protection and blessing.

Above the White Tara is a depiction of Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. He is also seated on a throne in a meditating posture.

The two lower figures are protective deities and bodhisattvas who complement the spiritual energy of the Tara. They are placed in colorful aureoles.

The White Tara is often worshipped to promote health, healing and longevity. She is particularly popular in the Tibetan tradition and symbolizes infinite care and compassion.

The painting is framed in a purple-colored textile frame made of Tibetan silk brocade and covered with a golden yellow silk fabric cover, which respectfully protects it when not in use.

The tangka is approx. 20 years old and was made in Nepal.

Dimensions: 43.5 x 59 cm, 72 x 120 cm with brocade.
