Photograph looking up at a tall copper dhwajastambha (flagpole) rising against a pale evening sky, its ribbed copper body wrapped with a rope near the base and topped by an ornate dark carved finial with a red flag fluttering from it. Orange ropes run up the pole to the top. Coconut palms and trees frame the left and right edges, with strings of orange and red flower-and-paper decorations hanging from overhead lines. At the bottom, a man in an orange robe and hood pulls on the rope to raise the flagpole, and another person in orange is partly visible at the lower right.
