* Tara
She is a very popular female bodhisattva among both laypeople and monks of Hinduism and Buddhism.
In Sanskrit, her name means Liberator, but also Star and She who takes you beyond, to the other shore, like a Buddha.
Considered an emanation of Bodhisattva Avalokitésvara, she was born from a beautiful lotus floating in one of his tears to help him.
The earliest representations of the goddess date back to the 6th century AD.
In Hinduism, Tara is one of the ten Mahavidya: one of the goddesses grouped under the name of Great Wisdom. This concept is used in iconography, for example, in India.
She transports births and rebirths across the ocean.
Sometimes depicted on Shiva's body, sometimes nurturing him with his mother's milk; he is also associated with cremations.
In Buddhism, Tara is a female bodhisattva endowed with miraculous powers, particularly those of freeing followers from physical dangers.
It is also a tantric deity visualized and meditated upon by practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, she is considered the Liberator and the Mother of all Buddhas.
