Dukar

Dukar, also known as White Umbrella Deity (Sitatapatra), is a revered female bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing powerful protection against negative forces, illnesses, and spiritual obstacles. She is often depicted holding a parasol, representing shelter from suffering and harmful influences, and is adorned with intricate ornaments and vibrant colors that reflect her enlightened presence. Devotees honor Dukar to seek blessings for spiritual clarity, inner strength, and to be safeguarded from misfortune. Ideal for meditation spaces, shrines, or sacred decor, Dukar statues are often crafted using traditional techniques like the lost wax method and fire-gilded with pure gold, making them not only spiritually significant but also timeless pieces of Tibetan art.
