A tall copper dhvaja (flagstaff) rises against an overcast sky, its lower section wrapped in a yellow-orange marigold garland and set on a stepped, ornately carved base with small deity figures. Two sannyasis in saffron-orange robes pull ropes to raise or steady the flagstaff from a red-tiled rooftop, one with a rudraksha mala visible at his neck. A corner of a metal awning and palm fronds frame the left and right edges.
