A tall copper dhvajastambha, a ceremonial flagstaff, rises from a red stone base at a temple courtyard. Its shaft is banded with copper rings, topped by a tiered finial with a small gold-coloured cap, and an orange flag hangs from near the top. A dark thatched rope is wound around the lower shaft, and marigold garlands decorate the base. A tiled-roofed shed stands to the right, with a white-draped figure and a bull-like sculpture nearby. Coconut palms and a large tree frame the sky.
