A tall wooden flagpole with a carved, ornate top and a saffron-orange flag tied at its peak rises against an overcast sky. Its base is wrapped with white flower garlands and a bundle of green leaves, and palm trees frame the scene. Two people in saffron-orange robes stand at the base pulling on a rope that runs up the pole to raise the flag: the nearer one, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around the neck, grips the rope overhead, while a second person in orange below looks upward. Small petals or grains drift through the air.
