Low-angle photo of a tall, slender copper-coloured flagstaff rising against a clear blue sky, its surface wrapped in spiralling bands and topped by a tiered finial with tufts of straw or grass at the crown. A red-orange flag is attached near the top and guy ropes run down toward the ground. No people are visible. This appears to be the flag-hoisting pole of the Brahmotsava event.

Photograph looking up at a tall polished copper dwajastambha (flagpole) with rope-like bands wound around its shaft, topped by a copper capital and a carved wooden-and-metal finial with orange cloth tied to it and dark plumes at the crown. Taut guy wires run up to the top against a pale overcast sky. No people are visible in the frame. The flagpole is the main subject of this temple flag-hoisting setting.

A person in orange ochre robes stands at the lower right beside coconut palms, holding a rope that runs up toward the flag, apparently raising or hoisting the flagpole during the dwajarohanam ceremony at a temple.
