This circular Green Tara thangka presents the green figure seated on a blooming lotus, with her right leg extended and hands forming generosity and lotus-bearing gestures. A luminous halo and celestial clouds concentrate the composition within a compact square. Green Tara is traditionally associated with active compassion, quick response, protection from fear, courage, and the movement toward liberation.
Hand-painted in Lhasa by Lixindi, identified in the source as an inheritor of Tibetan intangible cultural heritage, the artwork measures 3.5 x 3.5 cm. Fine cotton canvas, 24K gold, and natural stone pigments are documented, with malachite, azurite, and cinnabar named in the method. Its circular framing, halo, cloud field, and smaller size clearly distinguish this miniature from the 4 x 5 cm Green Tara variants.
