Low-angle outdoor photo of a tall, tapering copper flagstaff with ring bands, decorated at its base with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a carved wooden shrine-like plinth. A saffron-robed figure with a shaved head stands on the raised platform, one arm raised high gripping a rope that runs up toward the pennant, a red-orange flag near the top. Beside him a person in white dhoti and shawl with a shaved head faces the pole. Palm fronds and a blue sky with clouds fill the background, and a tin roof edge crosses the upper left corner.
