Prayer Flags: Tib. དར་ལྕོག་ dar-cho. Tibetan prayer flags come in various styles, most commonly as five alternating colored square cloths attached to a long strand; or a single piece attached along the length of a pole. Prayers, mantras, deities, auspicious symbols, and mystical animals are printed on each flag; and the colors blue, white, yellow, red, and green represent the Five Buddha Families or the five elements. Prayer flags are considered sacred and hung high off the ground so that the passing breeze can carry their blessings and bring benefit to beings.
