Green Tara with 21 Tara Thangka – Newari Style Art

Sale price$15,000.00

This magnificent Newari Green Tara Thangka is a large-format sacred painting, meticulously hand-painted in the classical Newari style of the Kathmandu Valley. Distinguished by its bold red background, refined linework, and jewel-toned palette, the composition reflects the devotional intensity and architectural precision characteristic of Newar artistry.


Central Deity: Green Tara

At the center sits a serene yet powerful Green Tara, embodying swift compassion and protective grace. Her poised posture—one leg extended—symbolizes immediate readiness to assist sentient beings.

Her expression is tranquil, her gaze compassionate, and her ornamentation finely detailed with symmetrical precision. The bold red field behind her intensifies her luminous green form, creating a dramatic sacred contrast often seen in temple murals and paubha paintings of the Kathmandu Valley.


The 21 Taras – Multiplicity of Compassion

Surrounding the central figure are numerous smaller manifestations of Tara, forming a radiant mandala-like presence. These represent the 21 Taras, each embodying specific protective and compassionate qualities.

Their repetition is not decorative—it symbolizes:

  • Compassion operating in all realms

  • Protection in every direction

  • The multiplicity of enlightened activity

  • Divine presence beyond singular form

Below the main figure sit two devoted disciples, respectfully positioned and delicately rendered, grounding the celestial composition in human devotion.


Newari Artistic Signature

This thangka is executed in the distinctive Newari (Paubha-influenced) style:

  • Bold vermilion-red background

  • Fine linear detailing

  • Balanced architectural composition

  • Jewel-like mineral pigment saturation

  • Symmetry rooted in sacred geometry

The result is a synthesis of Nepali devotional aesthetics and Tibetan thangka iconography.


Spiritual Significance

Green Tara represents:

  • Swift removal of obstacles

  • Compassion in action

  • Protection from fear

  • Healing energy

  • Feminine enlightened wisdom

The multiple Tara forms reinforce the idea that compassionate aid is ever-present and universally accessible.

  • Meditation halls

  • Temple or shrine rooms

  • Dharma centers

  • Sacred wall installations

  • Serious collectors of Himalayan art

Its commanding scale creates immersive spiritual presence.
