The vertical style, called &#039;&#039;darchor&#039;&#039;, is less common than the horizontal style, called &#039;&#039;lungta&#039;&#039;. Horizontal prayer flags are squares connected at the top edges with a long thread. The less used vertical prayer flags are usually single squares or groups of squares sewn on poles which are planted in the ground or on rooftops. Unique to [[Tibetan Buddhism]], these flags are panels or rectangles of colourful cloth strung along mountain ridges and peaks in the [[Himalayas]] to bless the surrounding countryside. Prayer flags are believed to have originated with the original [[Bön religion]] which pre-dated [[Buddhism]] in [[Tibet]].<br /> <br /> &lt;small&gt;Photo credit: [[User:Moumine|Moumine]]&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |}</div>
