A photograph of a saffron-clad figure in an orange turban and orange robe, wearing a long white and red flower garland and a large gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, standing outdoors beneath a multicoloured tasselled umbrella. The figure holds a rope connected to a tall white flagpole and appears to be raising or hoisting a saffron flag. Around him, several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with hands folded in namaste, one man in a yellow-orange shawl stands at left, and trees fill the background. The image is a dwajarohanam, a flag-hoisting ceremony, as indicated by the rope, pole and flag.

A smiling person in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, with a red tilak on the forehead and a white and red flower garland, stands at the pole with hands raised to it. A multicoloured parasol with tassels is held above them. Around them, many people in white dhotis and shirts press hands together in greeting, and a man in orange robes at right holds a tray of red petals. A young woman in white with a yellow shawl stands at right. The person in the centre fits the appearance-based cues of a person, with saffron clothing, a head wrap and garlands, but the image does not confirm identity.
