Night-time outdoor flag hoisting ceremony beside a tall golden flagstaff on a white plinth, with a palm tree behind. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red cushioned seat under a multicoloured parasol at right, holding the hoisting rope taut. Several people in orange and white robes stand and kneel at the base of the pole, one kneeling figure in orange tending a red-orange cloth that rises on the flag. A small table with a lit lamp and offerings sits nearby. The saffron flag bears a golden deity figure.
