Product Overview
This unique double-sided Thangka pendant brings together Green Tara, the embodiment of swift compassion, and Zaki Lhamo, the powerful Tibetan protector and wealth deity, in one sacred work of art.
Hand-painted on both sides with 18K gold, this piece follows the refined traditions of Rebgong (Regong) art from Amdo, renowned for its precision, spiritual depth, and full-detail craftsmanship. Encased in a traditional 18K gold Gau box with a sapphire crystal cover, it is designed for long-term wearing, travel, and personal devotion.
Front: Green Tara — Swift Compassion in Action
On the front side, Green Tara is depicted in her classic posture:
-
Right foot gently touching the ground, symbolizing her readiness to rise instantly to aid sentient beings
-
Hands holding the Utpala (blue lotus), representing purity, awakened wisdom, and the fulfillment of sincere wishes
-
A serene and joyful expression, radiating reassurance and compassionate presence
Green Tara is traditionally associated with protection, fearlessness, and swift assistance, making this side especially meaningful for daily wear or meditation.
Back: Zaki Lhamo — Authority, Wealth & Fierce Protection
The reverse side features Zaki Lhamo, rendered in a powerful wrathful form using raised gold detailing:
-
A skull crown topped with three eyes, symbolizing transcendent awareness
-
Two opposing dragons above her, representing authority, command, and unstoppable power
-
Clearly defined facial features with intense wrath lines, where deep blue and gold pigments collide around the eyes, enhancing her formidable presence
Zaki Lhamo is widely revered in Tibetan tradition as a protector deity and wealth guardian, embodying decisive strength, protection of resources, and the removal of obstacles.
Green Tara & Zaki Lhamo in Tibetan Buddhist Practice
In Tibetan Buddhism, Green Tara and Zaki Lhamo are two highly revered female deities who are often mentioned, venerated, or displayed together. Their pairing represents a harmonious balance between compassion and wisdom, health and prosperity, reflecting an integrated vision of well-being.
Green Tara is regarded as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara’s enlightened compassion and wisdom. She is especially known for protecting women, children, and the health of all sentient beings. Her imagery is closely associated with vitality, inner calm, and the nurturing force that sustains life.
Zaki Lhamo, by contrast, is honored as a powerful female wealth deity and protector. She is traditionally associated with material abundance, financial stability, and the safeguarding of resources, occupying an important place in Tibetan cultural life as a symbol of prosperity and worldly support.
Together, Green Tara and Zaki Lhamo embody the Buddhist principle of “the cultivation of merit and wisdom”—the understanding that material well-being and spiritual health are not opposed, but mutually reinforcing.
In lived religious practice, these two deities are frequently enshrined together in temples or carried as personal devotional objects, such as Thangkas, pendants, or bracelets. Practitioners may seek Zaki Lhamo’s blessings for stability and prosperity, while also relying on Green Tara’s compassionate protection for health and inner balance, striving toward a complete and harmonious life.
This combined veneration reflects the inclusive nature of Tibetan culture and a shared human aspiration for both material sufficiency and spiritual well-being.
