Chyothar
It literally means the flag of religion. The five-colored colorful cloths emblazoned with the most important mantras are hung on a long wooden pole, worshiped by the Lama Gurudwara Jivanyas (Rabanya) and carried in the courtyard of the house, on the main road, on the sidewalk and on the hillside. This contemporary tradition is called Chyodor Longu. There is a religious belief that the state of the giver will be cut off by the donor, that this fluttering voice and its air-filled creatures will be purified, and that the Buddha's rule will spread as far as the wind runs. It is for this purpose that the religious flag is flown.
छ्योदर
यसको शाब्दिक अर्थ धर्मको ध्वजा भन्ने हुन्छ । अत्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण मन्त्रहरु छापेको पाँच रंगको रंगविरंगका कपडाहरु लामो काठको बलोमा टाँगेर लामा गुरुद्वारा जीवन्यास (राबन्य) पूजा गराई घर आँगनमा, मूलबाटो, गलछिडो र डाँडा पाखामा उठाई फर्फराईन्छ । यो सम्य परम्परालार्ई छ्योदोर लोङ्गु भनिन्छ । यसबाट दाताको दशा ग्रह काट्ने, यो फफराएको आवाज र यसको हावा लागेका प्रणीहरु शुद्ध हुने तथा हावा जहाँसम्म दौडिन्छ त्यस दिशासम्म बुद्ध शासन फैलिन्छ भन्ने धार्मिक मान्यता छ । यसै उद्देश्यद्वारा ओतप्रोत भइ यो धार्मिक ध्वजा फरफराउने गरिन्छ ।
