Outdoor temple festival scene beside a tall polished copper flagstaff wrapped with a red cloth and rope, with a bundle of straw or grass tied near its base. A bearded man with long hair, wearing a red-brown garment and a large multicolour marigold garland, stands at the pole and looks upward while gripping the rope. Around him, many people in orange and saffron clothing, some bare-chested with orange-and-gold lower cloths, stand close together, and several hold ornate umbrellas in green, red and gold. A palm tree and green foliage fill the background, and a red metal frame and a security camera appear at the left edge. The crowd includes women and children in orange and white clothing.
