Dukkar, also known as White Umbrella or Sitatapatra in Sanskrit, is a prominent deity in Tibetan Buddhism. Dukkar is revered as a compassionate and powerful goddess associated with protection, purification, and the elimination of obstacles. She is particularly known for her ability to dispel negative energies and avert calamities. The name "Dukkar" translates to "White Umbrella," which is a key aspect of her iconography and symbolism. Dukkar is often depicted as a beautiful goddess with a single face and two to a thousand arms, each holding a white umbrella. The white umbrella represents her protective and shielding qualities, offering refuge and shelter from afflictions and adversity. As a symbol of purity, clarity, and compassion, Dukkar is believed to have the power to eliminate obstacles, illness, and negativity. Her practice is especially revered for its ability to ward off spiritual disturbances, black magic, and harmful influences. Devotees of Dukkar engage in her practice through various rituals, visualizations, and recitations. They often recite her mantra, which is "OM SITA TA PA TREY HUM PHAT," to invoke her blessings and protection. By focusing on Dukkar's form and meditating on her compassionate nature, practitioners seek her guidance and assistance in overcoming obstacles in their lives. Dukkar's practice is considered particularly beneficial in times of personal and collective challenges. She is believed to protect individuals from harm, disease, and negative forces, and her practice is also associated with the well-being and harmony of communities. Her compassionate presence and protective nature bring solace and a sense of security to those who turn to her for support.
In Tibetan Buddhist iconography, Dukkar is often depicted seated on a lotus throne, surrounded by an aura of light. Her white umbrella is held above her as a shield, symbolizing her role in providing refuge and dispelling negative energies.
