A man in a saffron-orange robe, wearing white and red-yellow flower garlands and a gold chain, bows forward with his forehead pressed against an ornate copper flagpole decorated with marigold and white flower garlands, and with dry palm-frond fans tied to its top. The flagpole base is carved with figures and sits on a stone platform. A coconut palm frames the right side under a pale sky, with a dark stone sculpture visible near the base. The pose suggests a devotional gesture at a flag-hoisting. No other people are visible.
