 ORIGIN OF PRAYER FLAGS

Nepal Sutras, originally written on cloth banners, were transmitted to other regions of the world as prayer flags.

HOW TO HANG PRAYER FLAGS?

Prayer Flags are commonly hung on a diagonal line from high to low in high places that will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings.

5 ELEMENT COLORS

There are 5 different colors in a set representing the five elements and the five pure lights. Health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements:

1. Blue for Sky and Space
2. White for Air and Wind
3. Red for Fire
4. Green for Water
5. Yellow for Earth

TIMING OF HANGING AND TAKING

The best time to put up new prayer flags is in the morning on sunny, windy days.

Old prayer flags are replaced with new ones annually on the Tibetan New Year.
