A prayer flag is a colourful panel or rectangular cloth often found along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas to bless the surrounding countryside or for other purposes.

Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five colours. The five colours represent the elements  and the Five Pure Lights.

Blue (symbolizing sky/space)

White (symbolizing air/wind)

Red (symbolizing fire)

Green (symbolizing water)

Yellow (symbolizing earth)

Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to ‘gods,’ a common misconception; rather the prayers will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space to bring benefit to all.
