These Buddhist prayer flags are carefully handcrafted by our female artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal. The cotton fabric is printed with images of deities and their associated mantras. After drying, the fabric is precisely cut to size.

Prayer flags are colorful fabric flags that play an important role in Buddhist traditions, especially in Tibet and Nepal. They symbolize happiness, peace, compassion, and wisdom. The flags are printed with prayers, mantras, images of Buddhas, and other sacred symbols.

Traditionally, these flags are hung in sacred places such as mountains, temples, and monasteries, but also in homes and gardens. Exposed to the elements like wind and rain, the prayers and mantras are spread by the wind, with the intent to spread peace and prosperity across the world.

Each color of the prayer flags has a specific symbolic meaning. Blue represents the sky, white represents water, red stands for fire, green symbolizes wind, and yellow represents the earth. Hanging prayer flags is considered a spiritual practice that can aid in meditation, reflection, and the promotion of inner peace and well-being.
