Photograph looking up at a tall, slender copper dwajastambha (flagstaff) with ringed bands and a square platform at its top, topped by an ornate copper-coloured finial with feathered plumes. A figure in orange clothing is seen high on the finial, held by ropes that run down the pole, against an overcast pale blue sky. The scene suggests the flag-hoisting ritual at a temple. A small purple logo appears in the lower left corner.
