Outdoor photo of a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting ceremony at a copper flagstaff with an ornate carved base set on a red plinth. Two priests in red-brown dhotis with yellow borders stand at the pole, each pulling a rope and wearing garlands of white, yellow and red flowers; the one on the right also wears a rudraksha-style mala. Palm trees and greenery fill the background, and a few onlookers are partly visible at the lower edge. The pole is wrapped with yellow and red floral garlands.
