White Tara

Among the two forms of Tara, White Tara is considered the wife of Avalokiteswara. A few times from Vairochana. She is usually seated, dressed, and crowned like a bodhisatwas. And sometimes she is considered a Saptalochana or Tara with seven eyes. Extra eyes on her forehead, palm, and feet and lotus flower on one or both of her shoulders. She sits in full vajra posture. Her right hand will be in a touching posture, her left hand in a teaching gesture that will hold the stem of the lotus. It wears all sorts of valuable ornaments and looks beautiful. The practice of White Tara is essentially performed to extend life and for healing purposes.

Thanka

A (Buddhist) thangka, loosely translated “something rollable”, or something “to roll”, is painted with opaque colors.

Cotton or silk fabric, often with ornate borders and sub-fabrics.

As a rule, wooden struts are used on the upper and lower edge, often with decorative buttons and two long ribbons.

Thangkas are used for Buddhist meditation, at home, during parades but also in temples and processions.
Mostly deities, lamas, Buddhas, or Bodhisattvas are represented,
also the wheel of life or other symbols of Buddhism.
