Looking upward at a tall polished copper flagpole with ribbed, rope-patterned bands, topped with a cream cloth banner painted with red line drawings of deity figures and a hand gesture. Yellow and pink marigold garlands hang from the top of the pole. A palm frond is visible at the right edge against a pale sky. The scene suggests a flag hoisting ceremony, with the banner and garlands marking the sacred flag raising.

A saffron-orange cloth flag streams from a rope on its side, and a garland of yellow and orange flowers hangs from the left under a metal roof edge. A palm frond appears at the right against a bright sky. No people are visible. This matches the dwajarohana flag-raising ritual noted on the page, though that is not visible in the photo itself.2011-09-09April 21 20152015-04-21April 21 20152015-04-21April 14 20132013-04-14 +1 copiesSeptember 08 20152015-09-08Photo 11738330September 08 20152015-09-08
