Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Flag Set

A prayer flag is a rectangular cloth made of pure cotton that is often hung along mountain ridges in the Himalayas. Its purpose is to bless the surrounding area with positivity. The mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” is printed on the flag, with each syllable holding deep meaning and representing purification and enlightenment. The flag can be waved or hung in a car or jeep, and as it moves, it creates the same effect as reciting the mantra. The threads of the flag, when ripped, are said to cleanse the surrounding area. The flag comes in a set of five colors, each representing one of the five elements. Hanging prayer flags is believed to create a positive force in the wind.
