Looking up at a tall copper-brown flagstaff decorated with yellow and maroon flower garlands and a carved relief panel showing a tree, topped by a finial. A person in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala holds ropes raised to hoist a flag, while petals scatter through the air against a blue sky with a palm tree behind. The scene appears to be a flag hoisting ceremony. The person's face and build are not clearly visible, so no identity is asserted.
