Buddhism

In Buddhism, Tara is a tantric goddess of compassion and spiritual travel who helps people on their path to nirvana. She is often depicted seated on a lotus throne in a pose of royal ease, with her right foot on a smaller lotus to signify that she is ready to act if needed. Tara is sometimes referred to as the "Wisdom Goddess" and the "Mother of all Buddhas". She appears in many forms, including the Green Tara and the White Tara, each representing a different aspect of her role.

Hinduism

In Hinduism, Tara is the goddess of felicity and sanguineness, and is also known as the "Wisdom Goddess". She is the consort of Brihaspati, the god of Jupiter. According to some Puranas, Tara had a son named Kacha with Brihaspati and a child named Budha with Chandra.

Tara is associated with death and symbols of mortality, such as skulls, in some of her forms. Her temple at Tarapith, established around 1225 BCE, is considered a place where her power and presence are most accessible
