Outdoors under a bright sky with scattered clouds and tall palm trees behind. In the foreground a tall copper-clad ceremonial flagstaff with a carved wooden base rises on the left. Beside it a man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands on the right, pulling an orange rope that runs up the pole, as the flag is raised. A second person in orange robes, shown only at the right edge, holds a brass plate. The scene suggests a flag-hoisting ritual.
