Mother and Protectress with White Umbrella – known for her great power to bestow protection, avert obstacles and purify defilements. 

Sitatapatra (Dukkar/tib.) is a female deity whose power originated from the crown protuberance (ushnisha) of Buddha Shakyamuni while he remained in samadhi in the Heaven of the Thirty-three. Sitatapatra’s name means “white umbrella” and it is the main emblem that she holds with her left hand. She is brilliantly white in color and full of love and compassion.

The practice related to this deity is considered a powerful method to avert obstacles and gives immediate protection in adverse circumstances. Reciting her mantra is said to avert evil influences and purify defilements.
