5.5" Green Tara Statue | Hand-Painted Nepalese Buddhist Goddess Sculpture | Gold & Copper Patina | Authentic Himalayan Altar Decor

Invite the Goddess of Compassion Into Your Space

Green Tara is one of the most beloved deities in Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhism, a goddess of active compassion, protection, and swift liberation. This exquisitely hand-painted 5.5-inch Green Tara statue captures her in her traditional seated posture: right foot extended in readiness to rise and help all beings, left hand in the gesture of refuge, lotus flowers framing her serene and compassionate gaze.

Crafted by skilled Nepalese artisans in the Kathmandu Valley, the heartland of Himalayan sacred art, this sculpture is finished in a rich gold and copper patina that deepens with age, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.

WHY THIS STATUE STANDS APART

✦ Authentic Nepalese Craftsmanship — Hand-painted by traditional artisans using mineral pigments and age-old techniques passed down through generations of Newari craftspeople. No two are exactly alike.

✦ Gold & Copper Patina Finish — Warm tones representing spiritual illumination and the transformative fire of wisdom. The antique patina gives a timeless, sacred quality suited for active altar use and display.

✦ Ideal Altar Size — At 5.5 inches tall, the perfect centerpiece for a home altar, meditation corner, desk shrine, or sacred shelf.

WHO IS GREEN TARA?

Green Tara, known as Shyama Tara in Sanskrit and Drolma in Tibetan is a female Bodhisattva revered across Tibetan, Nepalese, and Himalayan Buddhist traditions. She embodies enlightened activity: while other deities contemplate, Tara acts. Her green color symbolizes dynamic energy and her capacity for swift response to suffering. Placing a Green Tara statue on your altar is considered an invitation for her protective and liberating energy into your space and practice.

CARE & PLACEMENT
Place Green Tara at eye level or slightly elevated; traditionally, sacred statues are not placed on the floor. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid water or chemical cleaners on the patina finish. Offerings of incense, flowers, or candlelight are a traditional form of reverence.
