Goddess Tara is one of the ten Mahavidyas (“Great Wisdom” goddesses),tantric aspects of the great goddess Devi. The Mahavidyas are tantric manifestations of the great goddess (mahadevi), analogous to the ten avatars of Vishnu, and are personifications of Shakti, Shiva’s energy.Tara is associated with the destructive and purifying powers of fire. She wears a diadem and a garland made of skulls as well as a tiger skin (a garment associated with Shiva) around her waist. She tramples on Shiva, who lies in a charnel ground marked with blazing pyres. Prints of the Mahavidyas were particularly popular in West Bengal, where the goddesses are venerated for their protective powers.
