Outdoor flag-hoisting ceremony in a garden with mango-like trees and a low rock border. A long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl and a multi-strand rudraksha mala grips a white flagpole with both hands, smiling. Beside him, a man in white clothes holds the pole and a cord, and an orange-clad attendant stands to the left. Two decorated umbrellas, one red and blue with tassels and one yellow and red with floral embroidery, are held overhead by attendants, and a barbed-wire fence runs behind. Appearance-based cues including long swept hair and the rudraksha mala fit a person as the central figure, and the sign-free scene is otherwise devotional ceremony.

A man in a deep orange-red robe with a long dark rudraksha mala holds a rope attached to a tall white flagpole while a red umbrella with colourful fringe is held above him. Two decorated yellow-and-red ceremonial banners stand nearby. Another man in an orange dhoti and shawl, bare-footed, stands at the flagpole's base, which is ringed by brick and scattered with yellow flower petals. To the left, several people in orange and white clothing carry a silver tray of offerings and flowers. Several bystanders in white are behind them. The scene reads as a ritual ceremony around the flagpole.2008-11-12November 12 20082008-11-12November 12 20082008-11-12December 23 20082008-12-23July 29 20082008-07-29December 23 20082008-12-23November 12 20082008-11-12July 29 20082008-07-29
