A photograph of a tall ornate copper dhwajastambha, a ritual flagpole, against a pale sky. Its carved, scalloped upper section is hung with small bells and crowned with a finial and a tuft of dried grass. A red flag with a blue emblem flutters from the pole, and an orange cord runs along its length. No people are visible in the frame.2010-01-02January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesMay 30 20132013-05-30December 24 20092009-12-24A tall ornate copper-toned flagstaff with a pointed finial topped by a bundle of straw-like tufts, rising against a plain white sky. A bright red flag streams sideways from a cord along the pole, with orange cords running down its length. Small bells hang from the tiered carved sections, and the base rests on a square platform with a decorated bronze-like capital. This is a dwajarohanam flagpole with no people visible.2010-01-02 +1 copiesDecember 12 20092009-12-12October 07 20112011-10-07January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesMay 08 20132013-05-08March 12 20132013-03-12Low-angle photo of a tall ornate copper-coloured ceremonial structure against a pale sky. Its top is a tiered, scalloped copper canopy with a fringe of dark fibrous hair near the peak, and a bright orange-red cloth flutters from a pole beside it, held by orange ropes running down the shaft. The lower shaft is a metal column with embossed floral and rope-pattern bands and a square copper base plate. No people are visible in the frame, so the scene reads as an empty ritual or festival pole rather than a gathering.2009-09-29December 24 20092009-12-24
