A tall copper pole, banded with ornate copper rings and black cords, rises against an overcast sky. Orange cloth flags are tied to it, one bearing a painted figure of a deity in red and green tones, and a bundled orange cloth hangs on a taut orange rope at left. A thin orange rope runs alongside the pole at right. The scene looks like a ceremonial flagpole or dhvaja stambha raised for a temple or festival, but no people are visible.
