Outdoor photograph of a tall copper dhwajastambha (flagstaff) rising from a white tiered stone base at a temple courtyard under a clear blue sky. An orange flag flutters from the mast, and a carved finial sits at the top. The base is decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and loose flower petals spread across the paved ground. To the right, a black stone Nandi bull sits on its own white pedestal, draped with a white cloth and an orange-and-white garland. Coconut palms and trees frame the scene. A woman in white clothing stands near a yellow vehicle with a white canopy and a banner behind it. Strings with orange streamers run between the poles and trees.
