A dark maroon flag hangs from a golden pole for the Dwajarohanam flag-hoisting ceremony, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses and topped with wheat stalks, green leaves and a golden conch-like ornament. The flag bears a printed oval portrait of a smiling figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a beaded rudraksha mala, seated in meditation. Palm fronds and a clear white sky frame the scene; no people are visible.
