Green Tara is believed to be born from the compassionate tear of Avalokiteshvara when he was looking down the world of suffering. The suffering let his tear fall down and from left a white peaceful Tara was born and from right fierce green. Her posture is portrayed with right leg extended with ease, signifying she is always ready to help being from suffering and left leg folded in contemplative position on lotus pedestal symbolizing the integration of wisdom and art. She holds a blue lotus on her left hand symbolizing purity and power while right hand makes boon granting gesture.
