Night-time photograph of a flag-hoisting ceremony at an outdoor shrine. A figure in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a white platform, reaching up to pull a rope attached to a tall ornate copper-coloured flagstaff with decorative tiers. A red cloth drapes down from the top of the staff. In the foreground a person in white clothes stands with their back to the camera, and another person in orange robes is partly visible at the right edge.

A figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a shaved head stands on the left, pulling a long copper-coloured flagpole upward with ropes; a red flag is partly unfurled at the top against a dark sky with palm fronds. A second person in orange stands at right beside the platform, and another orange-clad attendant is partly visible at the far right edge. A garland of yellow flowers rests on the ground at the left. The page indicates a Gurupurnima flag hoisting, but the image shows only the ceremony itself.2008-03-26Night photograph of a tall, ornate copper flagstaff, its surface chased with carved panels and knobs, rising from a white stepped plinth in an open courtyard. A long red and gold flag streams from the top, pulled up by a rope. Two figures in saffron-orange robes stand at the base, one hauling the rope and the other at the plinth's edge. A palm tree and dark sky surround the scene.2008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26Night photograph of a flag-hoisting ceremony at an outdoor ashram site. A figure in orange-saffron robes stands at the base of a tall, ornate copper-coloured flagpole, pulling a red cloth banner upward; the banner bears a small emblem near its top. Behind the pole are a tall palm tree and a dark night sky. In the lower left foreground sits a dark stone deity murti, a Nandi-like or Shiva-linked figure, adorned with a garland of white and yellow flowers and a bead necklace. A saffron-coloured cloth lies draped over the pole's base, and an orange cloth sits on the platform in the lower right. The figure's face is not visible, so the figure's identity cannot be determined from the image.2008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26
