What\u2019s special about the decor at Hum Vegetarian is that the windows and doors are adorned with silk drapes in five main colors, including blue, white, yellow, green, and red. These colors are the symbols of Buddha\u2019s wisdom and widely seen across the Himalayas. When you\u2019re in Tibet, you\u2019ll find many Buddhism prayer flags in these 5 colors.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
