Low-angle photograph of a dhvajarohanam flagstaff on a clear blue sky. A tall yellow-green pole with decorative bands and rope bindings rises to a wooden top fitted with hanging bells and a garland of marigold and white flowers. A long brown banner hangs from the pole, bearing an oval painted portrait of a seated robed figure in orange with a rudraksha mala, one hand raised in a gesture, and a red-marked forehead. No people are visible.
