Tara is femine deity which originated in India and was adopted by the Tibetans and is very popular because she is a protector. Traditonally , Tara protects one from the dangers faced in earlier times such as being drowned in a ship, being imprisioned, being bitten by.snake and so on. But Tara is actually a protector of all kinds of harm. One can ask for Tara's help for oneself and all others for any mental or physical problem that one has encountered.
