Is there another chant for this red Tara other than the om Tara tuttara ture soha?
Yes, it’s in the full feature article on the 21 Taras according to Lord Atisha’s lineage, which you’ll find here: https://buddhaweekly.com/21-taras-atisha/ Her mantra most often given is OM TARE TUTTARE TURE BHAYA BHASMIM KURU SVAHA. There is also a Surya Gupta lineage mantra of this Tara but she is visualized differently, and is normally a more complex practice (with 21 empowerments) OM TARE TUTTARE TURE PHO TRA YA BHAY MEM KURU SOHA (or Svaha). We have a three part series on these 21 Taras with videos of their mantra being chanted for each. The second part of the series contains Tara 13: https://buddhaweekly.com/part-2-surya-gupta-21-taras-meditating-on-virtuous-body-of-tara-distinct-embodiments-of-taras-compassion-and-wisdom/ There’s a video visualization with her mantra chanted on our Youtube Channel (there are 21 videos, one for each of the 21 Taras) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7RFcnxsHWM&t=126s . Of course Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha is also her mantra — the mantra of all Taras.
