On the other side of the road was a different type of stuppa along with lots of prayer flags. A Buddhist prayer flag is a colorful piece of material that has Buddhist prayers written or drawn on each square of material. They are strung on a banner and reminded me of the colorful plastic flag banners you see at ‘new store openings’. These prayer flags were stuck on reeds and put into a large container, but in other places we saw them strung between trees and buildings.
