Tibetan Prayer Flag
Prayer Flags are auspicious flags that contain images of deities, mantras and prayers. They are traditionally believed to bring happiness, peace, prosperity, good fortune, health and victory over obstacles. Our flags are made by the hands of Tibetan artisans in Nepal. Tibetan prayer flags are rich in symbolic meaning. The practice of stringing them in outdoor areas has spread rapidly around the world. In Tibetan, they are known as Dar Cho; where Dar means increasing life, fortune and health and Cho means all sentiment beings. The flags are primarily for the benefit of the world, not for the individual who hangs tem. It is believed that the sacred texts and symbols printed on them have a vibration that is activated and carried by the wind, so that all who are touched by that wind are blessed.
The 5 colors of flags are symbolic as well. They are always displayed in same order and each represents a different element: Blue for heaven, White for air, Red for fire, Green for water and yellow for earth. After the flag becomes old and worn, they should be burned so that the prayers within them can be released and the smoke may carry their blessings to the heavens.
