A tall copper dwajastambha, a ritual flagpole, rises from a stone base wrapped in yellow and orange marigold garlands and sheaves of straw, with orange flags attached at the top. A standing person in a saffron-orange robe with a draped covering over the head pulls a long orange-and-white cloth rope toward the pole, hands raised. A white wall runs across the foreground, with a palm tree at left and a pale sky above.
