A barefoot man in a flowing saffron-orange sleeveless wrap with a long black rudraksha mala stands on an orange-red stone platform beside a tall copper flagstaff. He extends one arm toward the pole and holds the hem of his robe with the other hand. The copper pole has a carved wooden-looking base, and a yellow and red marigold garland is draped around its lower section, with a bundle of straw tied to it. A brass tray with orange and white cloth sits at its foot. A second person in white dhoti and shirt with red trim stands at the right edge. Palm trees and a bright sky fill the background. The scene suggests a flag hoisting ceremony.
