Green Tara: HAR 89178

This Green Tara Protecting from the Eight Fears painting is from a set of approximately seventeen paintings depicting the deities of the Sadhanasamucchaya text. This text was known in India in the 11th century and later translated into Tibetan in the 13th century. The painting set follows a Bhutanese Drugpa Kagyu editing of the original Sanskrit text. A popular Bhutanese version is said to have been edited by the 9th Je Kenpo of Bhutan, Shakya Rinchen, 1710-1759. The central subject of the painting is Tara Protecting from the Eight Fears, number 53 in the group of 142 deities of the Sadhanasamucchaya. *** Support HAR through Patreon:
