Low-angle photo of a tall copper-clad ceremonial pole or chariot mast, banded with copper rings and topped with a carved finial and a small red flag. Its base is wrapped in green leaves, feathery grass and white jasmine garlands with red flowers. Against a clear blue sky, thin ropes run upward from the mast, and a small white drone hovers near the top. At the lower right, a person in a white dhoti and a white cloth draped over one shoulder holds a rope and stands beside a wooden cart or chariot, with a coconut palm behind. No faces are clearly visible; the scene suggests a temple procession or festival raising of the mast.
