A brown cloth flag hangs from a tall gold-painted flagpole during a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting ceremony. The flag is decorated with garlands of yellow and red-pink flowers and green leaves, and a sheaf of dried grass and leaves is tied at the top of the pole. A painted oval portrait on the flag shows a seated figure in orange robes with a long-haired, bindi-marked head and a beaded necklace, sitting cross-legged. Palm trees and a pale sky frame the scene. No people are visible.
