Outdoors under a pale evening sky, a tall polished copper flagstaff rises from a stone base wrapped with yellow and red marigold garlands. A red flag hangs from the top of the pole. A person in orange saffron robes stands on a platform at its foot pulling on the red rope that runs up the mast, reaching upward with both arms. A second person in orange robes stands behind him. Coconut palms and trees frame the scene, and strings of orange and yellow paper decorations hang nearby. Stalls with yellow and striped canopies and a few seated people in white appear at the lower right.
