Lung-ta,” meaning Wind Horse, refers to a distinctive type of prayer flag found throughout the Himalayas—adorning mountain peaks, hillsides, high passes, riversides, bridges, homes, and sacred sites.

When the wind catches these flags, the prayers inscribed upon them are carried aloft, spreading blessings to all beings. The purpose of Lung-ta prayer flags is to invoke the Wind Horse—an emblem of vitality and good fortune—to petition Buddhist deities and protectors on our behalf, seeking auspiciousness and the removal of obstacles from our path.

Traditionally, these flags feature a central Wind Horse surrounded by four mythical creatures—the snow lion, garuda, dragon, and tiger—each symbolizing celestial virtues.

Prayer flags are crafted in five colors, each representing one of the elemental forces: blue for space, white for air, red for fire, green for water, and yellow for earth.

We chose the name Wind Horse for its inspirational meaning, reflecting a selfless ideal. Witnessing prayer flags fluttering in the Himalayan breeze evokes a profound sense of peace and serenity—an experience that awaits you on your journey to the Himalayas.
