White Tara, known as one of the Twenty-one Taras in Tibetan Buddhism, is revered for her ability to alleviate the underlying causes of illness, suffering, and malevolent spirits. Devotees seek her blessings for happiness, longevity, and overall well-being, as she is believed to bestow a long and healthy life upon those who invoke her compassion and grace. In Tibet, it's called Dolgar, and in Sanskrit, Sitatara. The White Tara, the goddess of longevity, is depicted as a young, beautiful woman.
