Beside it a standing man in orange dhoti with a red-orange shawl and a rudraksha-style bead necklace joins his palms in namaskar, while a monk in saffron robes stands at right and another figure in orange crouches at far right.

Two saffron-robed men stand at the base: one in the centre wearing a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body with arms relaxed, and another bending forward on the right, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a large round gold pendant, holding a golden plate or tray. A man in white dhoti and shirt stands at the lower right, and a cameraman in orange clothing films with a video camera at the right edge. Orange cords hang from the flagpole, and the carved wooden shrine-like section of the pole shows small deity figures. The scene suggests a flag-hoisting ceremony preparation.2010-10-18 +1 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18 +1 copiesJuly 15 20112011-07-15November 06 20102010-11-06
