Outdoors among coconut palms, a black stone Nandi bull statue decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands beside a white plinth and a tall copper-coloured flagstaff. Three men in saffron-orange robes are hoisting a flag: the central man in front, bare-chested, pulls the rope upward while another in orange helps guide it, and a bearded man in orange wraps stands to the right watching. A wooden stool and small table sit nearby on sandy ground.
