Low-angle photograph of a tall copper flagstaff, ringed with bands and topped by an ornate finial, rising against a partly cloudy blue sky. A man in saffron-orange robes holds an orange rope attached to the flagstaff, wearing a gold bead necklace, with his head tilted down. At the right edge, a second person in orange robes stands partly cropped. A carved wooden pillar with figures and a metal roof edge appear at the left. This appears to be a flag-hoisting ritual, consistent with the dwajarohanam label.

Low-angle photo of a tall ornate copper dhwaja stambha (flagstaff) rising against a partly cloudy blue sky, with an orange-red flag at its top and an orange rope running down its length. Beside it, a man in a saffron-red unstitched robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands with one hand on the pole and the rope, and wears a tilak on his forehead. On the right, a second figure in a dark red shawl stands at the edge of the frame. Carved reliefs decorate the pole's base and stone statues appear in the background, with palm fronds at the right. The scene suggests a flagpole raising ritual, with the flag's hoisting on the pole.2010-10-18 +1 copiesA tall copper-clad flagstaff rises diagonally from an ornately carved wooden base against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.
