Low-angle photo looking up at a tall, dark reddish-brown wooden pole wrapped with bands of braided orange rope and a black band, rising against a partly cloudy blue sky. Two long red-orange ropes run from the top of the pole down past the frame. Scattered small objects, possibly flower petals or fluttering pieces, drift in the air around the pole. At the lower right, palm fronds of a coconut palm frame the scene. No people are visible in the frame; the pole appears to be a dwajasthambha-style flagstaff raised for a flag-hoisting ritual.2010-10-18A tall copper flagstaff rises steeply against a clear blue sky, wrapped in copper bands and topped with a carved finial trailing an orange and white flag. A person in orange robes stands at the base on the right, pulling the rope that raises the flagstaff, while scattered orange and yellow petals fall through the air. A coconut palm leans in from the right and marigold garlands hang at the base of the mast. The person is partially visible; no face is identifiable and no appearance-based candidate qualifies, so the a person field is none.2010-02-12A tall copper flagstaff rises against a bright blue sky, topped with a carved finial and a red-orange flag, while orange flower petals scatter down its length. At the base, a man in orange robes and a white and orange garland raises one arm beside the pole, with a palm tree behind him and marigold garlands wrapped around the staff's base. A thin orange rope runs up the pole, consistent with a flag-hoisting ceremony.2010-02-12December 14 20162016-12-14October 03 20162016-10-03December 14 20162016-12-14April 10 20162016-04-10October 03 20162016-10-03March 10 20132013-03-10January 01 20172017-01-01August 12 20162016-08-12September 18 20162016-09-18
