A tall copper-clad ritual flagstaff with a decorative finial stands on a raised red stone platform under a metal-roofed open pavilion strung with colourful tassels and small red lanterns. Several people in saffron-orange robes tend the base, one arranging a white and orange flower garland and others handling bundled straw and ritual items. A man in white dhoti bends low to sweep the paved floor, and a woman in a green and red sari stands nearby. Around the platform, more people in orange and white clothing stand and sit, with palm fronds in the foreground framing the scene.
