Low-angle photograph of a carved wooden and metal temple finial or ratha-style top against a pale overcast sky. Two tiered ornamented wooden panels with scalloped edges and small studs rise above a white and ochre carved column capital. A long red-orange flag or cloth flutters from a pole at left, with rope lines running down the frame. No people are visible in the scene; the photograph shows only the temple structure and flag, consistent with a dhwajarohanam (flag-hoisting) setting.
