A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe standing beside a tall polished copper flagstaff wrapped with bands and draped with yellow and magenta flower garlands. He holds an orange rope in one hand and a folded pink and white cloth bundle in the other, apparently pulling the rope to raise or secure the flag. He wears a red tilak mark on his forehead, a beaded necklace, and has long dark hair. Palm fronds and an overcast grey sky form the background, with a small partly visible figure in orange at lower right.
