A tall copper dhwajastambha, the flagstaff for a dwajarohanam, rises from a stone base wrapped with yellow and orange marigold garlands, topped with a carved wooden crown-like finial. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at the base, one in front gripping the pole and hauling on a rope to raise an orange flag. Coconut palms, strings of small orange paper decorations and a canopied cart with yellow trim appear in the background under a pale evening sky.
