The Prayer Flag

The Prayer Flag is a documentary (Style) film about the purpose, significance and teachings of the life via Lungta Prayer Flags. Trekking through the beautiful trails of Annapurna Circuit, we understand the fundamentals of these flags and how it relates to anything or any being in the world.

Traditionally, Prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength and wisdom. Frequently misunderstood, these flags do not carry any prayers to the gods. It is believed that the mantras get blown away with the wind as the flag deteriorates with time to spread good will and compassion into the pervading space.

Prayer flags that come in sets of five: is further rationalized into five chapters in regard to the color and the element/sense it represents: Blue- Space/Ether element (Sense of Hearing), White- Air element (Sense of Touch), Red- Fire element (Sense of Vision), Green- Water element (Sense of Taste) and Yellow- Earth element (Sense of Smell). We witness the diverse experiences of the whole trek being documented into their respective chapters in order to elaborate the significant purpose of the Prayer flags. Each of the five chapter addresses parts of the trek in relevance to the element it represents and senses it stimulates.

The film’s narrative unfolds through the series of informative and mythical storylines: also clarifying the objectives our life. The Prayer Flag concludes with an important life lesson.

I hope you enjoy my experience and interpretation: My first film.
