Outdoor photograph of a figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange head covering standing beside a tall copper flagstaff (dhwajastambha) wrapped with yellow and orange marigold garlands and bundles of straw. The figure's face is covered by an orange cloth held in both hands, and a long gold-toned mala hangs at the chest. An orange-and-white rope and a white banner rise along the right side of the pole. Coconut palms and a clear sky form the backdrop; a white vehicle and two onlookers in white, one with a tilak, appear at the lower right.
