In the Tibetan tradition of Buddhism, Tara is a beloved figure of
compassion. Her wrathful energy is understood to serve others and
to cut through to truth, in this form she is a protector and uses her
energy wisely. Tara is one of the few female figures of divinity
that shows a full range of expression.

Tara's right hand is holding a triratna also known as the three jewels namely Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. They represent the body, speech and mind of all the Buddhas. She is seated in lalita asana on a single lotus base.
