Outdoors under palm trees, a man with short hair and a red bindi wears a tan wrap over a red flower garland and rudraksha malas, with gold bangles on his wrists. Several arms in gold bangles and beaded bracelets reach toward him, one hand gripping the wrap at his shoulder, while a thin rope with a dry-grass tuft is held overhead as part of a flag-hoisting rite. Coconut palms and green foliage fill the background. The man appears to be a person by appearance cues, with the page noting his presence at this flag-hoisting event.
