A tall copper dhwajasthambha flagpole rises against a clear blue sky, wrapped in copper bands and topped with an orange flag. At its base, a gilded figure sits in a niche garlanded with white jasmine and red flowers. In the lower right, a man in a reddish-orange dhoti with gold borders and a beaded necklace holds a brass bell in one hand and an oil lamp with a flame in the other, performing aarti. A palm frond is at the right edge and another person's hand is partly visible at the far right.
