They arrive ready to hang, with intentionally unhemmed edges to flutter naturally and release the printed blessings into the breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow are these flags made and where do they come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Nervana prayer flag set is handmade in Nepal by women artisans working with Fair Trade partners. Production follows traditional methods—printed on 100% cotton and tied to a strong cord—so the look and feel reflect authentic regional craft. Small variations in size and print are a natural result of hand production and add to each set's uniqueness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandcrafted by Nepali women artisans under Fair Trade arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% cotton fabric, breathable and lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLungta (Wind Horse) and traditional symbols printed on each flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproximate total length 22 feet including cord; flags ~9.5 x 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the five colors mean and why does that matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five colors follow Tibetan convention: blue, white, red, green, and yellow, each linked to an element and a direction in traditional practice.

Choose a sunny, breezy morning for best effect and avoid placing the flags where they will be constantly rubbed by rough surfaces. Because the edges are unhemmed, allow them room to flutter freely for the intended weathering effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHang high to low on a rooftop, balcony, garden, or indoor beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest installed on a clear, windy morning for natural fluttering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplace annually (commonly at Tibetan New Year) or when very faded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will these flags look and hold up outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton construction breathes and frays naturally, designed to release blessings as threads loosen in the wind. With exposure to sun and weather the ink will soften and the fabric will age gracefully; this weathering is intentional and part of the tradition. If you prefer a longer-lasting decorative use, hang them in a sheltered spot or indoors to slow fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnhemmed edges intentionally allow weathering and movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCotton softens with exposure; prints fade gradually over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSheltered placements extend the flags' vibrant appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: These Nervana Tibetan Prayer Flags suit anyone who values authentic Nepali handicrafts, Fair Trade sourcing, and meaningful spiritual or decorative accents—ideal for gardeners, yoga studios, meditation spaces, travelers, and gift-givers wanting a handcrafted symbol of cultural respect.
