The Green Tara is a fascinating Buddhist figure that stands for compassion, protection and wisdom. Here are some interesting details about this statue:

Green Tara is often worshipped as a "savior" and protective deity. She is also a teacher of asceticism and wisdom.

Tara embodies the principle of compassion and is the female counterpart to Chenresig (Avalokitesvara), the male bodhisattva.

Legend has it that Green Tara was born from a tear shed by the great compassionate bodhisattva over the suffering of the world.

Her peaceful facial expression reveals the state of "salvation" (Sanskrit: nirvana).

Green Tara holds the stems of two lotus blossoms in her hands, symbolizing different stages of growth.

The figure was handcrafted by the Nutchhe family of artists in Nepal and weighs 4.8 kg.

Its dimensions are: Height 35 cm, depth 18 cm and width 28 cm.

This Green Tara statue is undoubtedly an impressive work of art that can bring joy and peace for decades. It is wonderful to hear that she is even more beautiful in reality than in the pictures! 🙏🌿
