It is mentioned in scriptures that how a temple should be constructed. <br />During festivals holy flags will be hoisted atop this flag posts . It would fly on top the post till the festival is over. It is also an indication for people around that its festival time. Bringing down flag signifies the culmination of the festival.<br /> Flag posts rise up to 30 feet depending on the various sastras, depending on the deity and temple. <br />I think this would answer your question.chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162975193030085486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-82292982930322470742010-01-08T10:55:03.037+05:302010-01-08T10:55:03.037+05:30what is the significance of flag post?what is the significance of flag post?Samvednahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103943612564758951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-33210655586700331112010-01-08T09:29:00.972+05:302010-01-08T09:29:00.972+05:30SG
