Recently, one nuance was discovered, blue flags, which are always under the scorching sun from early morning until late evening, like in our steppe, and if no shadow covers them, as a result, after a couple of months, the blue color disappears under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, other colors do not disappear and do not change, the inscriptions and the image of the horses of the wind still remain good on all flags. Other flags, which are in the shade of leaves, for example, or under a canopy, did not change color in any way. Please take this nuance into account, and remember, one of the main points of hanging flags is your motivation ))
It is recommended to hang flags according to the lunar calendar, as there are favorable, neutral and unfavorable days.

The wind horse or lung-ta (Tib. Rlung rta) is so popular that many people believe that the word lung-ta means prayer flag. These are, so to speak, classic Tibetan prayer flags. Their main purpose is to strengthen the internal energy of living beings living in the immediate vicinity, to attract good luck to them, to promote prosperity and prosperity. In the center of the flag the image of the wind-horse itself is always placed. The outer corners of the flag are guarded by four mythical animal defenders: the garuda, the dragon, the tiger and the snow lion (some flags do not have their images; instead, corresponding inscriptions are applied). The text on the flags is subject to change. This is usually a group of mantras or a short sutra. The most common sutra of the Victorious Banner (Gyaltsen cemo). In addition to all of the above, additional symbols can be applied to the flags. Without any doubt, it can be argued that the lung-ta are the most ancient Tibetan prayer flags, and the symbols depicted on these flags have been preserved from the pre-Buddhist period of Tibetan history.
There are two types of prayer flags, which are fundamentally different from each other in terms of layout, arrangement of panels and method of placement. The first of these is darding (Tib. Dar lding) or "flying flags". These are the same garlands of small flags that we most often see in the regions where Tibetan Buddhism is spreading and in places where Tibetans live compactly in other countries. Five or a multiple of five of the panels fixed on a rope (woven tape or braid) are stretched horizontally or at a certain angle. Such fastening of flags creates the impression that in a gust of wind they seem to fly, soar or float through the air. This type of flag is often called lung-ta, after the most common variety.
