A photograph of an outdoor ritual setup on a stone terrace with green lawn and trees behind. A tall brass-based pole holds a deep magenta cloth flag with a white-outlined emblem of a reclining figure, topped by a spiky burst of dried stalks and wrapped with twisted cord at the base. Beside it stands a small table draped in magenta cloth, holding a silver tray with brass vessels, a brass lamp and small cups, a bowl of red and green offerings. No people are visible.

A close outdoor photograph of a deep maroon ritual flag (dhvaja) on a bamboo pole bound with rope, its cloth bearing faint pale painted or drawn motifs. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame is held up beneath the flag by a bare forearm with a thin bangle at the wrist, against a blurred green lawn and trees under a cloudy sky. Only one partial person is visible, the arm.2024-11-07A close outdoor photograph of a deep magenta cloth flag hanging from a thin wooden pole tied with rope at its base.

No people are visible.2024-11-07Outdoor photo at a sunlit lawn with green grass and wooded hills under a blue sky. A shirtless man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a cream turban stands beside a brass flagstaff, holding the rope while a magenta flag with a white painted design is hoisted. He wears a long rudraksha mala with beads. A brass tray with a kalasha, oil lamps and offerings sits on a magenta-draped table at left, indicating a dhvajarohanam flag-hoisting ritual.
