A barefoot person in an orange saffron robe and orange sleeveless top stands on a white platform beside a tall copper flagpole, gripping the pole with both hands while pulling a rope that runs along it. The pole rises above a carved wooden base decorated with white jasmine garlands and a bundle of straw or broom-like grass tied to it. Coconut palms and green trees frame the scene under a pale sky, and small figures are visible at the lower edge near the platform. The person has long dark wavy hair and is raising the flag on the pole.
