Outdoor ritual at a dwajarohanam flagpole under green trees. A tall white flagpole stands centre, with a figure in saffron-orange robes and a red-orange turban beside it, a garland of white flowers around the pole and a rope tied at its base. A man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at left, and an older man in white holds a tall red-and-multicolour parasol. On the right, women in white saris with gold borders and red or yellow shawls hold brass plates of offerings, and a girl in a white dress stands among them with a red-tinged ceremonial thread. Onlookers stand behind. No clearly visible a person face is confirmed here, so the saffron-clad figure is described by role only.
