A tall polished copper flagstaff rises from an ornate stone base on an orange-red temple platform, wrapped with yellow and purple marigold garlands. A man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala reaches up to a rope, while a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with maroon borders stands on a black metal step ladder, pulling the rope and looking upward. A third person in orange holds a brass tray of offerings. Coconut palms and a white sky frame the scene, with a small table of fruit and flower offerings at right.
