TARA NEWARI

Based on 13th - 16th century AD Newari style famous for its rich colour palette and precise lines, Master Painter Mukti Singh Thapa reproduced the Newari style painting for Green Tara who protects Eight Dangers through the use of traditional iconography while clearly expressing his artistic freedom and creativity.

The design of the assembly of disciples reflected a design probably from India or Central Asia in a much early dates. We still can see this similar style on Parinirvana theme from the damaged murals of Kizil and Bezeklik caves in Xinjiang.
