Outdoor photo of a tall copper flagstaff being raised at a temple, with an orange saffron flag bearing a small emblem flying from its top and a long white rope running down beside it. Beneath the pole, a man with long dark hair and an orange cloth wrapped around his waist stands near a woven basket, while a bearded man in a red turban and red-and-white patterned shawl, wearing a gold necklace and garlands, handles the rope. A third person, partly visible at right, and a figure at the lower right edge are also present. Palm fronds and a flowering tree frame the scene, with a white building wall and string lights at left.

December 14 20162016-12-14Photograph looking up at a tall copper flagstaff (dhvaja stambha) with ringed sections and a carved finial, topped with a small red-and-white flag bearing a symbol. A white rope runs down from the flag to a man in a red and gold patterned garment with a red turban and gold necklaces who grips the rope. Beside him a figure in orange robes with long hair holds a wicker basket, and another bare-chested person in white stands at the right edge, with green leaves and palm fronds in view. This appears to be a flag-hoisting ritual with the flag being raised.2016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14October 03 20162016-10-03 +1 copiesDecember 14 20162016-12-14September 08 20152015-09-08 +1 copiesJanuary 04 20152015-01-04December 14 20162016-12-14Low-angle outdoor photo of a tall, slender copper-coloured ceremonial flagstaff or dhvaja stambha rising against a pale blue sky, its top ornamented with a carved finial.
