October 07 20112011-10-07A photograph of a tall ornate copper dhwajastambha, a ritual flagpole, against a pale sky. Its carved, scalloped upper section is hung with small bells and crowned with a finial and a tuft of dried grass. A red flag with a blue emblem flutters from the pole, and an orange cord runs along its length. No people are visible in the frame.2010-01-02 +1 copiesPhoto 11743035Photo 11733252September 09 20112011-09-09March 10 20132013-03-10December 24 20092009-12-24Low-angle photograph of a tall ornate copper-toned ceremonial pole or standard against a pale overcast sky. The pole has scalloped metal fittings with dark round holes, an ornate bulbous base section, and a bundle of grass and yellow flowers tied to its top. An orange saffron cloth and white ribbons flutter from the pole. No people are visible.2009-12-23Low-angle photo of a tall ornate copper-coloured ceremonial structure against a pale sky. Its top is a tiered, scalloped copper canopy with a fringe of dark fibrous hair near the peak, and a bright orange-red cloth flutters from a pole beside it, held by orange ropes running down the shaft. The lower shaft is a metal column with embossed floral and rope-pattern bands and a square copper base plate. No people are visible in the frame, so the scene reads as an empty ritual or festival pole rather than a gathering.2009-09-29March 10 20132013-03-10Photo 11744534 +1 copiesNovember 22 20132013-11-22
