Looking up from below a metal roof edge at a tall, slender copper-coloured flagstaff (dhwajastambha) rising into a partly cloudy blue sky. The pole is wrapped with decorative bands of rope-like relief, and at its top sits an ornate finial with a square base, with thin orange cords running down from the top to the ground. No people are visible; the scene suggests the raising of a temple flag pole, matching the dwajarohanam album name.
