Green Tara

Green, seated on a lotus with her right leg stretched out as if already rising, her right hand lowered in the gesture of giving. Tibetans call her Drolma, "she who liberates." We have three: on a deep red ground inside a jewelled arch, on night blue with peonies, and a full composition with the Five Buddhas above and three protectors below. Read Green Tara and the 21 Taras.

Kurukulla

Red from ground to frame, drawing a bow made of flowers. Kurukulla is a red form associated with Tara, and whether to call her "Red Tara" is a question of its own: Kurukulla and the Red Tara Question.

Marici, goddess of dawn

Golden, three-faced, one face a sow's. In one design she rides a chariot drawn by seven blue boars; in the other she stands in black and gold, a blue boar at her feet. Read Marici: Goddess of Dawn.

Cundi

The Mother of Buddhas known through a single short dharani, loved in China as Zhunti and in Japan as Juntei Kannon. Our Cundi thangka shows her white and eighteen-armed on a great lotus, inside a gold halo ringed with beads. Read Cundi: Meaning and the Eighteen Arms.

Palden Lhamo

The fiercest here: dark blue, riding side-saddle on a mule across a red sea. Palden Lhamo is the protector goddess of Lhasa and of the Dalai Lamas. More in Palden Lhamo: Meaning and Iconography.

How they are made

These are prints, not paintings. Elderly lay Buddhists at a temple set the glass crystals and trace the outlines in gold glitter by hand, about two days for each, and part of every order goes back to that temple. Each is framed in silk brocade at 55 × 71 cm and ships free by air, tracked, with duties paid. Sizes and brocade colours are on the main Thangka page.
