Outdoor flag-hoisting ceremony under a clear blue sky beside a tall copper-clad flagstaff. Two figures in orange ochre robes stand at its base: a man on the left in orange with a maroon-edged shawl, bent forward and hands low near a gold lion-headed post; a figure in the centre in orange with long dark hair, one hand on a garlanded stone shrine-like base decorated with marigold and yellow garlands and sheaves of grass, the other arm raised to the white rope. A third figure on the right in orange robes pulls the white hoisting rope above. A small stone deity murti sits within the base. Palm trees and a banner with Kannada text appear at the left edge.
