Khadag, blue silk


Most common thing is used in Mongolia is blue scarf made of silk we called khadag which is originally from Tibet. But Tibetan khadags are usually white symbolizing the pure heart of the giver, though it is quite common to find yellow gold symbolizing sun. In Mongolia khadag is usually blue symbolizing sky. It is used all occasions for example weddings, funerals, births, graduations, arrivals and departure of guests. It also often tied to ovoos, stupas, or special trees and rocks.
