A tall golden flagstaff (dhwajastambha) stands in an open sandy compound under a clear blue sky, wrapped with gold bands and topped by a maroon flag bearing a framed portrait of a seated figure in orange robes, garlanded with red, yellow and white flowers. At its base is a bundle of straw and green leaves wrapped in white cloth. A man bare-chested in orange cloth with a patterned headband and rudraksha-style beads reaches up to steady the base, while a woman in orange robes places her hands on the pole and others in orange stand behind holding a tray of yellow flowers. Coconut palms and trees line the path.
