Green Tara, known as the “Mother of Liberation,” is one of the most beloved goddesses in Tibetan Buddhism. She symbolizes ‘’compassion in action‘’ — always ready to come to the aid of those in need. But did you know that her presence can be carried with you, not just in prayer, but also through sacred art and jewelry?In this article, we explore the spiritual meaning of the Green Tara Thangka, how it's traditionally created, and why a hand-painted Green Tara Thangka pendant can be a powerful spiritual companion in daily life.
Who Is Green Tara?
Green Tara (Sanskrit: Syamatara) is the embodiment of swift compassion. Her green color represents active energy, and she is often depicted with one leg extended, ever-ready to rise and help sentient beings escape suffering.
Worshippers turn to Green Tara for:
- Protection from fear, anxiety, and danger
- Swift resolution of obstacles
- Compassionate guidance on the spiritual path
What Is a Thangka?
A Thangka is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton or silk, used as a meditation tool or altar decoration. Thangkas are more than artwork — they are visual scriptures, painted according to precise spiritual symbolism and geometry.
A Green Tara Thangka usually features:
- Green Tara seated on a lotus throne
- Her right hand in the gesture of giving (varada mudra)
- Left hand holding a blue utpala flower, symbolizing purity and compassion
Why Wear a Green Tara Thangka Pendant?
While full-sized Thangkas are powerful for home altars or meditation rooms, a Green Tara Thangka pendant offers a portable blessing. When hand-painted with care and consecrated (a process called “zangzhuang”, or spiritual empowerment), the pendant becomes a living symbol of protection and guidance.
Wearing a Green Tara pendant can help you:
- Stay centered and calm in daily challenges
- Connect to your intentions and mindfulness practice
- Feel spiritually supported, wherever you are
Each pendant we offer is:
- Individually hand-painted by Himalayan artists using mineral pigments
- Set in a protective case suitable for everyday wear

How to Use Your Pendant
You don’t have to be a Buddhist practitioner to benefit from Green Tara’s energy. Simply holding the pendant in your hands, setting an intention, or reciting her mantra:
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
…can serve as a grounding ritual before your day begins.
