Prayer Flags

Prayer flags are colorful rectangular cloths, traditionally hung in sets of five colors, each representing the five elements: blue for sky/space, white for air/wind, red for fire, green for water, and yellow for earth. These flags are printed with mantras, symbols, and prayers, with the most common being the "Om Mani Padme Hum" mantra, invoking compassion and peace.

  • Blue: Represents the sky or space and is associated with calm and vastness.

  • Red: Represents fire, standing for energy, passion, and transformation.
