Prayer Flags in Tibetan Decorative Tradition

Prayer flags are printed from woodblocks, and the five-color convention, blue, white, red, green, and yellow, is a long-standing one in Tibetan decorative printing, each color standing for sky, air, fire, water, and earth. The windhorse, or lung ta, is a printed figure, and the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra appears as an inscription on the cloth.

These references describe tradition and decoration only. The pieces are printed textiles, not religious artifacts, offered for decorative purposes only, and no medical claims are implied.

How to Choose and Hang Prayer Flags

Start with where the line will hang, then choose the color count and the length.

• Choose a garden line for open air and an indoor wall or window when the weather is harsh
• Choose five colors for the classic set and seven or ten when you want a longer run of cloth
• Check the length against the space, since a longer line needs two fixing points
• Expect printed cotton to fade in sun and rain over time, which is normal for an outdoor hanging
