A tall copper dhwaja stambha (flagstaff) rises from a stone base decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, topped with an ornate carved finial. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at its base; the taller one raises both arms to pull a long orange rope that runs up to a small orange flag near the top, while a second man in orange stands behind him. Strings of orange and white flower decorations hang from wires overhead, with palm trees and a canopy and stalls in the background under an overcast sky.
