These fine quality single color prayer flags are made of 100% cotton .Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space.Prayer flags are usually to hang indoor and out on roof top or top of mountains that the wind blows and releases prayers into the universe and to create warm environment. The flags should be hung vertically on a pole, attached to a tree, on the side of a house.
