What it represents

Name and tradition
Green Tara is often called Drolma in Tibetan. Tara is painted in many body colors. The green form is the one most often painted alone. One traditional account says that Avalokiteshvara, the figure of compassion, saw the suffering of beings, and a tear became Tara. That is an account of where the image comes from.
