A tall copper dhvaja stambha, a flagstaff with ringed copper bands, rises against a clear blue sky, topped by a carved finial and a small saffron flag. Its base is decorated with white jasmine garlands, red flower strands, green leaves and palm fronds. On the right, a man in a reddish-brown garment and garlands raises the rope that hoists the flag, his arms stretched upward. Palm trees frame the scene.
