Outdoor photo at dusk of a tall copper dhwajasthamba, a flagstaff with ringed copper bands, rising from a bronze-coloured base wrapped in yellow and orange marigold garlands. Strands of red and orange flower garlands hang from wires and the pole. A person in an orange saffron robe with a red cloth bends forward at the base, tending the pole. Several people in white clothes stand in the background among coconut palms under a pale evening sky, with a figure in orange clothing at right. This appears to be a flagstaff raising ritual at a temple.
