Prayer flags come in various designs and colours. The traditional colours are of the five elements or the five Buddha families also known as the Dhayani Buddhas. These are Blue, White, Red, Green and Yellow.
The traditional Prayer Flags are an ancient design. The text is made up of prayers and mantras. Prayer flags can be hung across the front of buildings, around trees, from post to post or from corners of buildings to the ground. As the prayer flags are shredded by the wind, the prayers dissipate and rise to heaven. It is not required to change them when they are torn or faded away. Prayer flags are also hung indoors to add to the spiritual ambience.
