Low-angle photo of a tall, carved wooden flagpole wrapped in spiraling bands, decorated near its base with marigold garlands, rising against a bright, sunlit sky with palm fronds behind it. A long white and red-orange banner streams from the top, and a person in red clothing is partly visible at the lower right, grasping the banner's rope. The scene suggests a temple flag-hoisting ceremony outdoors.
