21 Tara Torma Buddhist Ritual offering

This hand-painted 21 Tara torma is a beautifully crafted offering piece designed for Vajrayana rituals. Vibrant colors and intricate patterns decorate the torma, with symbols like lotuses and auspicious floral motifs evoking the qualities of Tara, the mother of compassion. The central structure features bold contrasts of red, blue, and white, with a balanced arrangement of tiers and sacred elements, symbolizing the practitioner's offerings. Perfect for placement in altars or shrine settings, this torma embodies the spiritual devotion and connection to the protective and compassionate energy of Tara.

The word "torma" in Tibetan has two parts. "Tor" means to "throw out," signifying the act of severing attachment to desires and cutting through emotional entanglements that cause suffering. Tormas, made from barley flour and other ingredients, are offered outside in Vajrayana practices as a gesture of generosity. The second syllable, "ma," is a feminine ending, symbolizing maternal care and nurturing. Together, torma represents both freeing oneself from attachment and radiating loving-kindness, much like a mother's love, to all sentient beings.
