Outdoor photograph of a tall copper dhvajastambha flagstaff rising from an ornate stone base decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a beaded garland around his neck, stands at the base pulling on red ropes that run up to a red flag and bunting of orange and yellow flowers. A second person in orange clothing stands behind him. Palm trees, tree foliage, and stalls with yellow and green canopies appear around the scene under a pale evening sky. The flag-hoisting appears to be a dhvajarohanam ceremony at a temple.
