A visitor to the Himalayan countries finds prayer flags almost everywhere. They are flown from poles on the outside of homes, monasteries, public buildings and along pilgrimage routes and at sacred sites. They are tied to the upper branches of trees and between trees. Horizontal banners are strung above the rooflines. They might also be draped from the ceiling, under the eaves, along rafters and ridge poles, over the doors or windows of houses. They are also beautiful coverings for altars, tables and bureaus. Both indoors and outside, the possibilities are endless. Dharma Banners was conceived in the Spring of 1998 when a few friends visited Katmandu. We spent our days wandering around looking at and taking pictures of prayer flags. We were increasingly dumbfounded with the quandary: they are so beautiful, why aren't there prayer flags of all religions, in English, flying throughout the West. The results of a year of research and design are offered to you here.
