Photograph looking up at a tall wooden dhwaja flagstaff against a clear blue sky, wrapped in spiral bands of orange and white cloth with a carved top and a small shrine-like cap. An orange saffron flag flutters from its upper section beside a thin rope, and a palm frond appears at the bottom right. This is the flag-hoisting pole of the Brahmotsava celebration. No people are visible in the frame.
