A tall copper dhvaja stambha (flagstaff) rises from a white-painted base decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, topped with a multi-tiered finial and a small golden figure, with a saffron flag fluttering from its upper section against a pale sky. Palm trees surround the site. In the lower left, a signboard shows a portrait photo and reads 'Nithya Annadhaan With the blessings of Paramahamsa Nithyananda'. Beside the base, a dark stone deity murti sits adorned with a garland. A small figure in a pink sari stands near the sign at the bottom left. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram courtyard.
