Outdoor photograph of a flag-hoisting ceremony beside a tall copper flagstaff set on a stone base, garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds and dressed with palm fronds. A long-haired figure in a flowing orange robe reaches up to the staff, holding offerings near the top, while ropes hang beside the pole. Nearby, a man in orange clothing with a beaded necklace stands at the left, under a striped yellow-and-maroon ceremonial umbrella. Behind them is a crowd of people in white and orange clothes, a shelter labelled Nandeshwara Temple, and palm trees under a clear blue sky.
