Prayer flags at the edge of Mapam Yum Co lake. One of the three sacred lakes in Tibet.
In the southwest of Tibet, near Mount Kailash you will find Mapam Yum Co Lake.
The azure water, the snowy peaks and small sandy beaches. The surroundings of Mapam Yum Co Lake are also beautiful!
Prayer flags are flying everywhere, on which prayers are printed. These prayers are carried away by the wind.
The five colours of the flags represent the five elements. Blue stands for heaven, white for wind, red for fire, green for water and yellow for earth.
At the same time, each color represents one of the five dhyani Buddhas.
Often, prayers for a long and prosperous life of the person who hangs the flag are written next to the mantras.
Prayer flags spread peace, compassion, strength and wisdom.
