Outdoor photo of a tall copper dhwajastambha flagstaff rising from a white stone base decorated with white jasmine garlands and red flower garlands. An orange saffron flag with a white panel flies from the top. A standing figure in orange robes wearing a white flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala pulls the flagging rope, while a second person in orange bends over at the lower right beside the base. A coconut palm and overcast sky fill the background. Context suggests a dhwajarohanam flag-hoisting ritual at a temple.
