Medium Set Of 10 Tara Cotton Tibetan Prayer Flags #pf55

This set of 10 Tara prayer flags includes 10 flags along a string. Each flag is the color of the corresponding elements: Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth.

Each flag is approximately 10 inches wide by 12 inches long.

The total length of the string is approximately 118 inches.

The flags are traditionally hung at an angle so that the prayers will ascend from the physical earth to the spiritual heavens. The yellow one represents the earth or ground, the green one represents the ocean or sea, the red one represents the spirit or angel carrying the message, the white one represents the clouds, and the blue one represents the sky or heavens. Traditionally, the Tibetan people believe that when the wind blows or there is a draft that causes the flags to move, the messages or prayers are read by the wind and carried up to the heavens. As they weather, the strands of the flags flying into the wind symbolizes prayers being answered. People often write their names or write the names of the people they are praying for directly on the flags.

These are the same flags that you see all over the Himalayas, made by hand and hand stamped in Nepal. These prayer flags come pre-assembled and ready to hang for your peace of mind and convenience.
