Low-angle photograph of a tall copper flagstaff against a white sky, topped by an ornate carved finial and a small red-orange flag tied near its crown. Thin cables run alongside the pole, and a palm frond with fan-shaped leaves enters the lower right corner. The pole has rope-like ringed bands along its length. No people are visible in the scene, which suggests a dhwajarohanam flag-raising at a temple complex.

Its polished reddish-bronze surface is banded with rope-patterned copper rings spaced along its length, and a square wooden or metal platform with a finial sits at the top. Thin wires run alongside the pole, a palm frond and leaves appear at the lower right, and the edge of a vehicle or structure is visible at the upper left.
