A tall copper dhwaja stambha (flagpole) rises against an overcast sky, its shaft wrapped in spiral copper rings and its base carved and draped with yellow marigold garlands. Two monks in saffron-orange robes stand on a red-painted platform: one in the foreground at right with a shaved head and draped robe, and a second beside the pole who is pulling an orange flag up on a rope. A corner of a metal roof and a palm frond appear at the edges.
