I shot it at the festival of CHHATH.
Chhath Puja is a very joyous and colorful festival. Chhath Puja is the holiest Hindu festival of people in northern India. Mostly the Chhath Puja is being observed in Bihar and Jharkhand(INDIA) and the festival comprises rituals for four days. The Chhath Puja begins a week after Diwali. The word Chat denotes the number six in Hindi. The Chhath Puja begins on the sixth day of the Kartik, a holy month as per Hindu calendar. Some people spell Chath Puja as Chat Puja, Chatt Puja, Chhath festival, etc
Chhath Puja is dedicated to worship the Sun God. The Chhath Puja is known as ‘SuryaShashti’. People observe Chhath Puja to thank the Sun for bestowing the bounties of life on earth, as also for fulfilling particular wishes. People believe that by observing the Chhath Puja they can fulfill their desires. The Chhath Puja has been observed since long time in India. On Chhath Puja day, all the people dress up in their best and new clothes are a must. Folk songs are sung both at home and on the riverbank. Millions of people take dip in the holy water of river Ganges, and other rivers.

Each flag has scripture written on it. They string them up in a pattern of colour, between two points. Here they lead up to the top of a Buddhist Temple. They say that the wind blows the flags and scripture, therefore it carries the prayers all over the land.

In prayer one does not prayer in the limelight and the other in shadow. Prayer partners should support each other, one does not dwell in the shadow of the other. Each is equal in prayer and before the eyes of God.

By prayer we acknowledge God's power and goodness, our own neediness and dependence. Have a blessed weekend my friends. Regards!

This is my own personal prayer corner. I recommend that every Christian should have one set up in his or her house. Although most of the Icons are Coptic (Egyptian) I do have one Greek Icon of St. Mary all the way to the left and a huge picture of Christ that belongs more to the catholic tradition as a symbol of unity and a stern belief that Christ looks for the heart and its intent rather then the hardened heart that believes their form of Christianity is the supreme one. "Out of the Depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord" Psalm 130
Here is also a small video I put together concerning the Orthodox Christian and their relationship through prayer with our Lord.

Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five: one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow. The five colors represent the five elements[2] and the Five Pure Lights. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana. Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. According to Traditional Tibetan medicine, health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements.
