Description: Seated Tara. Detail from a Bodhisattva statue. West of inner entrance of Monastery 1, Ratnagiri This lovely Tara is a companion to the headless statue of Avalokiteshvara on site. Tara extends her right hand in varada mudra, while a lotus flower curls above her left shoulder. The features of the small statue seem typically Southeast Asian; as a center of learning, Ratnagiri was visited by Buddhist travelers from that region, and there were political and trading ties between Orissa and SE Asia at this time.
