A photograph of an outdoor flag-hoisting moment beside a whitewashed building with barred windows and a tin awning. A person in a long orange robe with long dark hair pulls a rope running up a tall silver pole, while orange triangular flags printed with a dark maroon emblem and the word DHYANAPEETAM flutter from a line strung to the building. Petals drift through the air. Behind them stands a crowd of onlookers, including a woman in a white sari with a gold border and several women in colourful saris, some with hands pressed together in greeting. A banana plant and a wooden ladder lean against the wall. Nearby, more orange flags hang overhead.
