A street-side photo of a flag-hoisting at a town ashram. A tall white flagpole rises beside a white-washed concrete base, with an orange cloth draped at its foot and a pipe running along the wall. On the right, a man in white clothes with a white garland and a rudraksha-style bead mala pulls the orange rope that raises the flag, while others in white shirts and dhotis crowd around. Shop signs in Tamil script line the street above and behind, and a few onlookers watch and one photographs with a camera.
