A tall, slender copper-coloured flagstaff or dhvaja stambha rises against a grey, overcast sky, its base draped with yellow marigold garlands and a red cloth. At right, a person in an orange-red robe and a rudraksha mala holds the red cloth and rope, reaching upward toward the pole. Palm fronds frame the right edge, and a partial dark shape appears at the bottom right corner.

A devotee in orange-red robes and a shawl stands at the right, gripping the rope that hauls the flag up the pole while looking upward. Several onlookers in white and red stand at the lower left, and another attendant in orange is partly visible at the right edge. This appears to be a flag-hoisting ceremony.2011-07-15October 07 20102010-10-07October 07 20102010-10-07A tall copper dwajastambha flagpole rises from a stone base decorated with marigold and white flower garlands, topped with a carved finial and a saffron flag. A person in orange robes stands at the base pulling on a rope to raise the flag, while another figure in saffron cloth assists nearby. Palm trees and an overcast sky frame the scene, consistent with a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting ritual at a temple courtyard.2009-07-08October 07 20102010-10-07January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copies
