This Green Tara thangka depicts the green figure seated on a blooming lotus with one leg extended, ready to rise. Her right hand opens in generosity while the left holds a blue utpala flower. Vivid green and turquoise tones meet golden light across the miniature composition. Green Tara is traditionally associated with active compassion, swift aid, courage, protection, and liberation from fear.
Hand-painted in Lhasa by Lixindi, identified in the source as an inheritor of Tibetan intangible cultural heritage, the 4 x 5 cm artwork uses fine cotton canvas, 24K gold, and natural stone pigments. Malachite, azurite, and cinnabar are named in the process. This gold-accented variant emphasizes luminous green, turquoise, lotus petals, and warm highlights, helping distinguish it from the other Green Tara paintings in the collection.
