Divine compassion incarnate, the goddess White Tara is magnificently depicted in this wooden statue from Nepal, which appears animated with the gentle compassion of the deity. On an intricately carved upturned lotus that symbolizes enlightenment and purity, White Tara stands in a graceful posture, whose serenity is enhanced by the heavenliness on her countenance. An imposing crown, ornate jewelry, and diaphanous skirt, worn by her are all exquisitely delineated, and so are the eyes on her forehead and palms, an identifying feature of White Tara statues.
Her hand holding the delicate lotus is in Vitarka mudra- the gesture of imparting wisdom while her right hand dangles down, in Varada mudra, the gesture of bestowing boons. Though immensely still in her expressions, the pose of White Tara in this statue appears as if she is mid-movement, having just descended from heaven, to answer the prayers of her devotees.
