Looking upward at a tall copper flagstaff (dhvajastambha) hung with garlands of yellow and red flowers and a leafy green wreath near its base, being raised with a thick rope. Two people in the scene handle the rope: one in a maroon-red dhoti and gold armlet pulls it overhead, and another in an orange saffron garment with long dark hair stands on a golden railing holding a woven basket of white cloth. A tall palm tree and colourful striped cloth appear at the right and lower left, under a bright sky.
