A woman in a maroon blouse and orange-gold skirt stands beside a golden ornamental pillar draped with yellow marigold garlands, reaching up to pull a rope with her right hand. She wears red flower garlands, a gold-and-brown embroidered collar, gold bangles and earrings, and a red tilak on her forehead. Palm trees and a bright sky form the background. A second person's arm in orange cloth with bangles appears at the right edge, holding the rope. The scene suggests the raising of a flag during a festival, with the flag rope being pulled.

Beside him stands an ornately carved brown temple-style pillar or kalasha wrapped in flower garlands with red blossoms and green leaves, under a palm-and-tree background. The scene reflects a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting at a temple.
