Photograph of a flag hoisting at an outdoor temple-style setting. A tall copper-coloured flagstaff, its base carved with floral and scroll motifs and wrapped with yellow and dark marigold garlands, rises at left against palm trees and a bright sky. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at the pole. The one at centre, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead, raises his arm to grip a rope that pulls up a folded orange flag. The man at right, with a shaved head and orange shawl, holds a wooden tray and gathers the rope. Sunlight backlights the scene from behind the palms.

A tall copper-clad flagstaff rises diagonally from an ornately carved wooden base against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. At the top, a red cloth flag is hoisted on an orange rope. A person in red-orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands on a raised red platform, pulling the orange rope with both hands raised overhead.
