Red Tara, Blazing Like Fire (Tibetan: drol ma mar mo): 2nd Panchen Lama Lobzang Yeshe, Manjushri, Heruka Vajrabhairava, Dorje Setrab, and Chingkarwa. Number 13 from the set of Twenty-one Taras of the lineage of Lord Atisha; protecting from hindrances and obstacles.At the top center is the bodhisattva of wisdom, Manjushri, orange, with one face and two hands holding a sword and lotus supporting a wisdom book. To the left is the heruka form of the tutelary deity Vajrabhairava, dark blue, with a buffalo head, holding a curved knife and skullcup, embracing the consort Vajra Vetali. To the right is a seated lama wearing monastic robes and a yellow pandita hat performing the mudra of blessing and holding a black begging bowl. A tether of rainbow light joins his heart to the heart of Manjushri.At the bottom left is the wrathful worldly protector Setrap Chen, red, with one face and two hands wearing the attire of a warrior, holding a stick and lasso; riding a brown horse. At the right is the worldly protector Chingkarwa, white, with one face and two hands holding a lance in the right and a bowl of jewels in the left; riding a white horse.Tara is a completely enlightened buddha who in a previous life promised to appear, after enlightenment, in the form of a female bodhisattva and goddess for the benefit of all beings. Her primary activity is to protect from the eight fears. Practiced in all Schools of Tibetan Buddhism her various forms are found in all classes of tantra - Nyingma and Sarma.From the tantra known as the Twenty-One Praises of Tara spoken by the buddha Samantabhadra arises a system of practice with 21 emanations of Tara - 1 for each verse of the praise. Each form of Tara has a specific colour and accomplishes a specific activity. Based on that, there are 3 well known and distinct lineages; Pandita Suryagupta, Lord Atisha and the lineage from the Nyingma Lama - Longchenpa. The 3 lineages do not share the same iconographic forms. In the Atisha system all the Taras appear in the same basic posture and only differ with the colour of the body. Aside from these 3 there are other less well known sets of 21 Taras.This painting belongs to a set of 21 depicting all the forms of Tara according to the Atisha Lineage. A short inscription is written in the areola above Tara
