Tara can appear in 21 different forms. In painting and sculptures, she is depicted in five different colors, like the Five Dhyani-Buddhas (Vairochana, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, and Amoghasiddhi.). The most common being Green Tara a Chinese princess in a Buddhist legend and White Tara a Nepalese princess. Green Tara is associated with enlightened activity and active compassion, and is the manifestation from which all her other forms emanate.
