Photograph looking up at a tall copper flagstaff against a clear blue sky, with a building's eave at the left edge. The copper pole is wrapped in bands of rope-like rings and topped by a carved wooden or copper crown-like capital with a small cloth banner or flag hanging from it, showing a faded emblem. Ropes run down along the pole, used for hoisting the flag. No people are visible. This relates to the dwajarohanam flag-hoisting ceremony that begins a Brahmotsavam at a temple.
