White Tara with Longevity Deities Thangka 32"x43"

Beautiful hand-painted thangka from Nepal depicting White Tara. Tara, or "She who liberates," is a female deity who is known for her swift protection for those who call upon her, as well as her enlightened activity and compassion. Tara has been known by many names: Sarasvati, Mandarava, Yeshe Tsogyal. Often considered the patron protector of Tibet, she is the female aspect of enlightened mind, the embodiment of absolute bodhicitta. Tara will never abandon a practitioner in need. White Tara, in particular, is related to longevity and protection so that one may be of ultimate benefit to self and others. Included in this thangka are Namgyalma and Amitayus, the other two main longevity deities. Measurements: With Brocade: 43.5" tall Image Alone: 14.25" x 19.5" Bottom Dowel: 32.75" Please note:       Thangkas, Canvas Prints, and Long Life Arrows are large fragile items that ship in long boxes, and shipping these can be expensive. If you are either:              A)   ordering other products with your large fragile item, or              B)   shipping priority You may receive an invoice for an additional shipping fee.         To insure the quality of your large fragile item, other products usually must ship in a separate box. Additionally, priority shipping with long boxes (especially international) is often more expensive than the initial estimate.        In these situations, we will show you what we are being charged for shipping ourselves, and let you know what your options are- you can still change or cancel you order at that point if you would like to.        Also, when shipping USPS International, Long-Life Arrows and thangkas (with a bottom dowel measuring 25 inches or more) will only ship priority, due to size restrictions on First Class International shipping. However, DHL Worldwide will accommodate such sizes as well         Items over $200 need to have extra insurance as USPS and Shopify only automatically insure shipments up to $200. Extra insurance prices range from $.89 (for shipments up to $300 value) to $17 (for shipments that cost $2000). If you purchase an item that is over $200, you will receive an invoice for a shipping insurance fee. Again, these fees are generally very small- usually a dollar or two at most. In these situations, you can still change or cancel you order at that point if you would like to. We are always willing to help, however you need.        Shipping insurance only covers the item’s damage or loss while the shipping agent has possession of the item, i.e. pick up, transit, and delivery. Once the item has been delivered to the residence, damage and loss are not covered. If you feel that your residence is unsafe for porch delivery, please make a note at checkout or email us, and we can request a signature upon delivery. There will be a $3.70 charge from USPS for that service. Thank you for your understanding, and for supporting the Dharma
