Low-angle photograph of a tall wooden ritual pole, a dhvaja-style flagstaff wrapped in twisted rope and decorated with a bundle of green leaves and grass at its base, strung with white and yellow marigold garlands and red flowers. A small red-and-gold umbrella and a red flag hang beside it. A person in a red garment stands at the left base, adjusting the pole, while a second figure in dark clothing is partly visible at the right. Blue sky and palm trees surround the scene, with a metal-roofed pavilion at the right edge.
