Outdoor photograph on a white temple rooftop terrace beside a copper-coloured dhvaja stambha, a tall ceremonial flagpole wrapped in yellow marigold garlands and topped with dried straw. A red cloth and green leaves hang from it. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a maroon border, dark-rimmed glasses, a rudraksha-style necklace and a red-and-gold bracelet stands beside the pole with hands joined. A second man in white ritual clothes stands behind him. Behind them, a white gopuram-style temple tower rises under a pale sky, and a row of spectators watches from the parapet, including children and women in saris. A tray of flowers sits at the lower right.
