Outdoors under a bright sky with thin power lines, a tall blue flagpole flies a saffron-orange flag bearing a blue emblem. A central figure in an orange robe, with a long green flower garland and an orange beaded necklace, stands looking up toward the flag with hands raised. Around him, a crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts stands with palms pressed together in prayer, some holding a round orange-bordered emblem plaque. Two ornate red, blue and multicoloured parasols with tasselled fringes are held above the scene, and a man in orange holds a brass vessel. Another orange-clad man on the right holds a silver tray of flower petals and offerings. A flag-hoisting ceremony appears to be underway.
