Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space.
Each hue signifies an element — and the flags are always arranged in a specific order, from left to right: blue, white, red, green, yellow. Blue represents the sky, white represents the air, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. All five colours together signify balance…
On my trek to the “Tiger’s Nest” Paro Taktsang, I found these prayer flags all along the way, spreading good vibes.

That’s very interesting. I’ve seen prayer flags, but didn’t know what the colours signified.
