9" Goddess Green Tara Copper Statue from Nepal | Buddhist Deity Idol | Handmade Copper Statue

Tara, a revered female divinity, emerged between the 7th and 12th centuries in India. Her forms differ in Hinduism and Buddhism: a yogini among Hindu Tantra's ten Mahavidyas and a female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism. 'Green Tara' and 'White Tara' are vital in Buddhism. Tibetan lore claims she formed from Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara's tears, embodying liberation and feminine principles. Tara signifies success, compassion, and escape from negative karma, bringing warmth and release from cyclic existence's trials.

Originating in India, Tara's influence spread globally. 'Green Tara' shields against misfortune, safeguarding humanity and nature, especially plants. As Khadiravani, a forest goddess, she's linked to plant life, acacia trees, and the wind. A guardian of wildlife and wind, Tara stands with her consorts, Ekajata and Ashokanta. Her left-hand holds a long-stemmed lotus, an emblem of her essence.
