Before hanging the flags, they should be blessed by a lama. It is also needed to write on them the names of those whom we particularly wish to dedicate our prayers and merit accumulated when hanging the flags.
Sometimes hanging wind flags are combined with rituals bringing prosperity such as the offering of fragrant smoke (Riwo Sangcho) though generally, they are separate practices. Since there are different deities, different mantra, and holy symbols on the wind flags, they should be treated with respect.
They shouldn’t touch the ground when we don’t need them anymore, because they are old or damaged, they should be burned in the 🔥 fire.The auspicious day's benefits from hanging wind flags are multiple 100 million times. Additionally, it is auspicious to hang the flags at the times of full moon 🌕 and new Moon.
A particularly good time for this activity is eclipsed. during an eclipse of the Sun, the benefits are multiple 100 million times when at the time of a lunar eclipse 7 million times.

Inauspicious days.
Hanging flags on astrological inauspicious days will bring obstacles instead of bringing well-being. As long as the flags last, unfavorable conditions will appear.
It is because of the presence of one being which in the Tibetan calendar is called Baden. (Baden-zangpo) is a demon from the class of elemental spirits,(the so-called nagas.) Hanging wind flag when the energy of a Baden is active, brings negative energy results.
The most important thing is to have the pure motivation and express good wishes.
So let hang the wind-horse flags on a day. Not in inauspicious days.
