Prayer flags are colorful rectangular pieces of cloth, often inscribed with prayers, mantras, auspicious symbols, or images, that are hung outdoors in various Buddhist and Tibetan cultural regions. These inscriptions are believed to spread positive energy, wisdom, compassion, and peace into the surrounding environment. Prayer flags are an integral part of Tibetan Buddhist culture and are believed to bring blessings, peace, and good fortune to those who hang them. They are made of cloth, typically cotton, silk, or polyester. They are usually rectangular in shape and come in a variety of sizes. The flags are often printed with colorful designs, symbols, and prayers using traditional woodblock printing or screen printing techniques. The act of hanging prayer flags is considered a form of spiritual practice and a way to accumulate merit and positive karma. It is believed that as the flags flutter in the wind, the prayers and blessings they carry are carried to all beings, benefiting both the ones who hang them and those who encounter them.
