Description

This incredibly detailed masterpiece showcases the illustrious female boddhisattva of compassion – Tara in all her glory! The enthroned Tara grants boons to devotees. She is surrounded by 20 emanations of her in various forms displaying essentially the same iconography. In worship, each Tara is visualized as the bearer of different boons— the bringer of prosperity, the dispeller of sorrow, the destroyer of attachments.

This giant musuem grade masterpiece is painstakingly crafted with immaculate attention given to each of the individual Taras seen. Taking almost half a year to complete this masterpiece would be at home in any gallery in the world.
