About Dukar

Dukar, also known as White Umbrella Tara (Sitatapatra), is a revered Buddhist deity who embodies supreme protection and the power to dispel obstacles. Celebrated as the "Great White Umbrella," Dukar shields practitioners from negative forces, harmful influences and misfortune while fostering peace and spiritual strength. Through her boundless compassion and enlightened activity, she safeguards those who sincerely seek refuge and supports them on the path toward awakening. Her enlightened presence is invoked through the sacred mantra "Om Sita Tapatre Hum Phat", which devotees chant to invoke her powerful protection dispel fears and obstacles, and cultivate courage and unwavering spiritual confidence.
