Tara Statues

In Buddhism, Tara is a Bodhisattva who represents the virtues of success in work and achievement. She is also known as the "mother of liberation", and offers protection from the dangers and fears of this world. Tara is usually depicted as a young woman, but can also appear in other forms such as an old woman or a child. In Tibet, she is especially popular and is often depicted with green skin, symbolizing her ability to overcome obstacles. Hindus also have a goddess named Tara, who is considered to be a manifestation of the supreme goddess Shakti. However, there is no connection between the two figures, and they are worshipped independently by their respective followers.
