Is this famous Talking Tara statue from Mahabodhi Temple, Bodhgaya?
Some said that this is Padmapani Lokeshvara (Chenrezig) statue.
Some said that the Talking Tara statue is actually another small (self arisen) Tara statue hidden in the Mahabodhi Temple complex that I will post in the comment shortly.
No way to verify as none of them are talking to us.

The late Kyabje Choden Rinpoche was a hidden yogin from Sera Je. Rinpoche went into solitary retreat for 19 years. He never left his meditation cave in the mountains above Lhasa from 1965 to 1985, and was virtually unknown in his monastery for this reason.
This Talking Tara statue is believed that when Rinpoche was meditating in the mountains during that period, this statue of Tara arose in his meditation cave.
