Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. They come in sets of five colours representing the five elements and symbols:

Blue for sky/space

White for air/wind/cloud

Red for fire

Green for water

Yellow for earth

They are usually strung high on the roof tops or outside houses, mountains, bridges and holy sites. Due to the sacred mantras and symbols on them they are treated with respect. They are never put on the ground or mixed with used clothing
