Outdoor photograph of a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting at a temple. A man in orange robes and a gold-beaded necklace hauls a long white cloth flag up a rope beside a copper-clad pillar topped with a green-leaf wreath and dried palm fronds. Below, a white-painted plinth is scattered with petals and holds a flower plate, a brass lamp and a bowl. Around him, people in white dhotis with orange shawls watch and clap, and a cameraman in white stands at the plinth. Tall coconut palms fill the background under a pale sky.
