A copper dwajasthambha flagstaff stands on a copper base with a gilded seated figure in a niche, wrapped with white cloth and green leaves at its top. At right, a person in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair reaches up holding yellow marigold garlands toward the pole, appearing to garland it during a flag-hoisting ritual. Palm trees and a bright sky frame the scene, and a curly-haired onlooker's head is visible at lower right.

The pole is wrapped with rope and decorated with white jasmine garlands and dried grass bundles around its wooden-carved base, which shows a small seated sculpted figure in a niche and a few yellow flower petals on the ground. The sky is pale and overcast. The man has long dark hair swept back and his eyes are closed. Recognition as a person is not established from appearance alone; the page does not state he is present.2010-07-01December 23 20062006-12-23December 23 20062006-12-23A photograph taken from below of a tall copper flagstaff (dhvajastambha) rising into a pale sky, its shaft banded with rope-twisted copper rings and a wrapped band of dark braided cord.

A man with long, dark, curly hair in a sleeveless orange top and orange dhoti stands at left, one hand resting on the copper pole, with a rope running alongside the pole. A palm tree is visible at lower right and a partial banner with red lettering appears at the bottom edge.2010-07-01
