A tall copper dhwajastambha flagpole rises from a decorated base wrapped in yellow and orange marigold garlands, with a red-orange flag fluttering from its top. In the foreground, a man in orange robes pulls a rope hoisting the flag, while a second man in orange stands behind him. Coconut palms, tree foliage and a pale evening sky frame the scene, with strands of orange and white flower decorations strung across the upper area. To the right, a partially visible canopy and a few people in orange and white stand near the ritual site, consistent with a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting ceremony.
