A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless top and a long orange shawl, wearing a white and green flower garland and a red tilak on his forehead, holds a yellow rope tied to a white pole with his right hand while a silver tray of pink flower petals rests on his left arm. Crowd members wear white shirts, checked shirts and dhotis. Behind them a red and orange bus and a blue wall are visible, and a small white plinth stands at the lower left. The scene appears to be a flag-hoisting or pole-raising ceremony with petals offered before the pole. The central figure's appearance is consistent with a saffron-clad sannyasi, but the identification is uncertain from the image alone.A young man in an orange saffron sannyasi garment with a large garland of white and red flowers and gold bell ornaments is smiling while gripping a white pole, apparently raising or adjusting a flagpole under an open thatched canopy hung with orange flags bearing a bird emblem. A man in white dhoti and shirt wearing a rudraksha mala holds a steel plate of colourful flower petals beside him. Behind them, a bearded man in orange robes and glasses stands among a large crowd of devotees, some in white clothes. A white cloth covers part of the left side, with a brass vessel and wheat stalks on the ground. The scene appears to be an outdoor ceremony with a dense gathering of onlookers.2009-11-25December 29 20092009-12-29
