A tall copper flagstaff is being raised at a temple courtyard beneath a large metal-framed corrugated roof shelter, with a small orange-and-white flag at its top and a palm frond overhead under a blue sky. Two people stand at its base on a raised platform: a person in an orange robe with long dark hair holds the pole with both hands, and a man in white dhoti and shawl with a bead necklace stands beside them, both pulling on ropes. Garlands of marigolds wrap the base of the pole, which rests on a stone pedestal. Behind them an orange temple building bears the sign 'Sri Anandeshwara Temple', and a few onlookers watch from the steps and courtyard edge.
