Photo 11682556A tall copper flagstaff, or dhvaja stambham, rises against a pale sky beside a metal-roofed open shelter with red-painted posts. The pole has ringed bands along its length and a crowning wooden framework with tiered cross-pieces, decorated with a strand of orange and yellow marigold garlands and small finials. Palm fronds are visible at its base and in the lower right corner. No people are shown.2011-09-09November 22 20132013-11-22September 09 20112011-09-09April 25 20132013-04-25December 07 20132013-12-07A tall copper dhvaja stambha (flagstaff) rises from a white-painted base decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, topped with a multi-tiered finial and a small golden figure, with a saffron flag fluttering from its upper section against a pale sky. Palm trees surround the site. In the lower left, a signboard shows a portrait photo and reads 'Nithya Annadhaan With the blessings of Paramahamsa Nithyananda'. Beside the base, a dark stone deity murti sits adorned with a garland. A small figure in a pink sari stands near the sign at the bottom left. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram courtyard.2009-12-26Photo 11684242June 26 20142014-06-26March 23 20132013-03-23Looking steeply upward from beneath a grey corrugated metal canopy, a tall, slender copper-coloured column rises against a bright white sky. The column is built from stacked ringed segments and topped by an ornately carved wooden or copper capital with a small white cloth or banner draped over it. Thin cables run diagonally down from the top toward the lower frame. A white dome-shaped security camera is mounted on the canopy edge at left. No people are visible.2016-04-10March 10 20132013-03-10
