An orange flag with a red-and-white ribbon attached is being raised up the pole on ropes. At lower right, a person in an orange garment with a dark head is pulling the rope, visible only partially at the frame edge. Other hands grip the flag pole below. The scene is lit only faintly, with a white flower-like tuft tied near the flag.2008-01-03Night photograph looking up at a tall copper-coloured ceremonial lamp pillar (deepa stambham) with ribbed silver-toned bands, topped by an orange-wrapped element and lifted by an orange cable.

No people are visible.2010-11-21A tall, bronze-coloured ceremonial pole or lamp column rises diagonally from the lower right toward the top of the frame, with a decorative ornamented top capped by an orange cloth bundle.

Dark clouds surround a bright moon behind the column against a night sky, and a palm frond appears at the lower right. No people are visible.2010-11-21Looking upward from below, a tall ribbed copper pole rises against a bright pale-blue sky. A small carved orange-painted finial with a face sits at the top, and a red-and-maroon cloth banner with a green-and-white emblem hangs from a wooden bracket beneath it, held by thin guy ropes. Thatched roofing edges appear at the lower corners. No people are visible. The pole appears to be a ceremonial flagstaff or dhvaja stambha at an ashram site.2016-03-01 +1 copies
