Outdoors among tall palm trees, four men in saffron-orange robes perform a flag hoisting. The man in front, with a shaved head and orange robe, pulls a large saffron flag upward on a rope, its white and red emblem visible. Beside him, a younger man in orange hoists the rope, a bearded man in orange stands with hands together, and a man in orange on the right stands with palms pressed in prayer. A small table holds a brass plate and a kalasha-style vessel. White stone pillars and a concrete wall frame the scene.
