Outdoor photo of two men in plain white ritual clothes at a tall white flagpole set on a concrete base on open dry ground. The man on the right has long dark hair and a white shirt over a white dhoti; he holds the flag rope with the younger man beside him, who wears round glasses, a white shirt and a white cloth draped over his shoulder. An orange saffron flag is being raised on the rope. Behind them are unfinished concrete buildings, large grey boulders on the left, scattered trees and a white-walled structure in the distance, under a cloudy blue sky. A small figure walks in the background. No identifiable a person appearance is clearly established, so the central figure is treated as an uncertain candidate.
