Photograph taken upward from ground level of a tall, slender copper-coloured ritual pole topped with a small ornate wooden shrine-like canopy decorated with green foliage and a red ribbon, with ropes running down its length. A corrugated metal roof edge with steel trusses runs along the left side, and a palm frond appears at the upper right against a pale sky. A small figure is partly visible near the roofline on the left, but no clear person is identifiable. The scene appears to be an outdoor temple or ashram setting.
