Buddhist prayer flags turn white, that is to say, green

This Saturday (December 18) morning, vibrant five-colour prayer flags that surrounded the Bouddha Stupa fell down one by one. Simultaneously, long white prayer flags were put up, causing a lot of confusion among the onlookers. Confused, Priya Shrestha took out her phone and started taking pictures of the change, and so did the many people who were walking around the monument.

Addressing the confused crowd, Ang Dolma Sherpa informed it was done to make the revered religious site eco-friendly and introduce sustainability in Buddhism and people’s actions.
