She is born of the tears of Avalokiteshvara. Like Him She is the Bodhisattva of compassion and service, according to many traditions a female version of Him.
She was born a princess and emerged to be a saviouress for all those consumed by ihalokiya dukha (earthly suffering). She is White Tara, the primal Buddhist Devi with multiple organs (golakas) of vision, such that nothing that causes Her devotees the least bit of suffering escapes Her.
On a lotus pedestal She is poised in all the beauty and grace of Her form. She is seated in the finest padmasana and raises a hand in generous blessing. In the palms of Her hands and the soles of Her feet are the especial golakas. Her fair face is marked by a composure so gathered and wise and inward-centred, that one is filled with veneration just gazing upon Her beauty. A long neck and the golaka at the mid-brow render Her beauty ethereal.
This White Tara sculpture has been made with a great deal of shraddha. From the torso to the long legs and half the arms, She is superimposed with a world of richly coloured inlay. It is luxuriantly set against Her shape, featuring scarlet and aquamarine petals, minimalistic gold filigree, and infusions of a Prussian blue indicative of Her hair. Such a White Tara murti would be a statement addition to the space of any Buddhist devotee.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
