One of the twenty-one emanations of the noble Tārā, this deity is praised in the fourth verse of the canonical Praise to the Twenty-One Tārās.
Painted on a small A4 size canvas primed with a yellow-ochre ground, the figure is rendered primarily in delicate red lines, enhanced subtly by soft shading on the body to suggest volume and presence.
