Asked by Ana(Brazil)

Hi, Ana
Thank you for your question. The wind horses are believed as the medium connecting the earthliness and the invisible world. There is not a fixed date for hanging the wind horses. Usually, it is hung up during festivals or on someone's birthday.

I know that the July 8th, 2009 will be the date of birth and death of Sakyamuni. On this day, Tibetan will pray around the Lhasa City, boating and dancing at the Longwang Lake. In early July, there is also Horse-racing Festival in Gyangze County in Shigatse.
