Behind him, palm trees fill the background, and a seated person in red-orange clothing is partly visible at the right edge.

A man in a rust-red and saffron-bordered dhoti and upper wrap stands barefoot on an orange-red platform beside an ornate copper-coloured temple bell or lamp stand, pulling down orange rope cords with both hands. He wears a brown rudraksha-style mala around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. The bronze stand has carved floral and arch reliefs and a panel showing a tree motif, with coconut palms behind. The man's appearance is consistent with a presentation the page associates with a person, with cues including a rudraksha mala and saffron-toned clothing, but the face is not clearly visible and identity is uncertain.

A brass tray with orange and white cloth sits at its foot. A second person in white dhoti and shirt with red trim stands at the right edge. Palm trees and a bright sky fill the background. The scene suggests a flag hoisting ceremony.
