The five-colored prayer-flags are impressive to those who have first been to Tibet. Those flags are hung on peaks, mountain passes, or by roads and monasteries. They are also named after the scripture on each flag. Blowing in the wind, they are also called sutra streamers.

To Tibetan Buddhism believers, each waving of the flags means reciting the scripture once, sending wishes of sentient beings to the deities. In this way, the prayer-flags serve as a connection between human beings and the deities. The deities are also believed to be just behind the flags, listening to their prayers.
