Prayer flags are called rlung-rta in Tibetan, meaning “wind horse” which is a mythical being adopted by Tibetan Buddhists . The tradition of hanging prayer flags on mountain passes, the rooftops of monasteries and houses, or spanning them from one treetop to the next is done so that the wind carries the special wishes, mantras, and auspicious symbols on them into the wide world . A journey to Ladakh is like a journey to ones eternal home.
