Tara iconography

[Claudine Bautze-Picron]

Dear Lars,

There is also :
1) Mallar Ghosh, Development of Buddhist iconography in Eastern India: a Study of Târâ, Prajnâs of five Tathâgatas and Bhrikutî, New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal, 1980
2) Benoytosh Bhattacharyya, The Indian Buddhist Iconography mainly based on the Sādhanamālā and other cognate Tāntric Texts of Rituals, second edition revised and enlarged with 357 illustrations, Calcutta: Firma K.L. Mukhopadhyaya, 1958
And
3) Arènes, Pierre. 1996. La Déesse Sgrol-ma (Tārā), recherches sur la Nature et le Statut d’une Divinité du Bouddhisme Tibétain. Leuven : Uitgeverij Peeters en Department Oriëntalistiek : not really dealing with iconography, but probably the best available work on the Târâ.
With all my best wishes,

Dear members of the list,

Tara. Can anybody help?
