A tall copper flagpole decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and dark floral garlands stands on a stone base beneath a metal roof, rising against a clear blue sky with palm fronds behind. A red and white flag is being hoisted on a rope. Two people in orange ochre robes are present: one at the rope pulling the flag upward, with a rudraksha-style mala visible, and another standing at the right edge, wearing an orange robe with a golden border and garlands. Their faces are not clearly visible, and the a person candidate is unsure. A carved relief panel with a tree motif appears on the base of the pole.
