In this sculpture Tara is in her green form.  In her left hand she hold a lotus, a symbol of the mind’s purity.  Her right hand is stretched outward in the varada mudra with her palm open facing downwards in a gesture of granting boons to her devotees.   Her left hand is held up in the vitarka mudra of teaching.   In between the tips of both her fingers is the begining of the stem of the flowers that flank both sides of her compassionate face.
