White
Umbrella Tara
She has the awe-inspiring majesty and radiates light. Taking the
white parasol as Samayamandala she protects all beings.
She has beautiful face and two arms. She holds a parasol in her
hand as the major religious instrument. It is said that in extremely
hot India aristocrats and leading monks used the parasol to avoid
being exposed in the sunlight. The parasol is one of the seven treasures
and eight auspicious things. It helps eliminate evil thoughts and
symbolizes that the Buddhist virtues shine on all beings.
