Outdoor flag-hoisting ceremony (dwajarohanam) at a temple courtyard surrounded by palm trees. A man in saffron-orange robes with a red rudraksha-style garland stands on a red stone base, pulling a rope that raises a flag up a tall wooden pole topped with a carved kalasha and garlands. Beside him a figure with long hair and a white shawl holds the rope, and a small Nandi statue sits in the foreground. Girls and boys in white traditional dress with orange shawls stand at left, hands joined in prayer, and devotees in orange and saffron clothing and white head cloths gather at right. A dark red and black banner with a bird emblem and Tamil-style lettering hangs at the right edge.
