A tall brass or copper ceremonial flagstaff rises against an overcast grey sky. Its shaft is ringed with bands and topped by a tiered, multi-level finial with bells hanging from the tiers, a small seated animal figure, and an ornate urn-like top.

A tall ornate temple flagstaff, the dwajastambha, rises against a pale blue sky. Its wooden tiered platforms are decorated with small hanging bells, a golden animal figure perches on the top tier, and copper finials crown the top. A saffron-orange flag with a circular emblem flutters from its side, and a thin cable runs down the pole. The flagstaff's base is a carved copper-clad pillar. No people are visible, and the flag and pole suggest a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting setting.
