A photograph taken from below of a tall pale bamboo pole being raised outdoors under a clear blue sky. A person in orange robes and a garland of marigolds, with gold ornaments hanging at the chest, grips a yellow rope attached to the pole with one hand while the other hand is raised toward it. Behind the pole a red fringed umbrella is held aloft on a long stick, and another red fringed umbrella is partly visible at the upper right. Several men in checked shirts and a man in yellow stand in the crowd below, some with hands raised, and a steel bridge structure appears at the lower left.
