Outdoors under palm trees, a person stands in profile at right holding a small bundle of green leaves and red flowers raised near their face. They are bare-chested with a brown-and-gold wrap, a long red beaded mala hanging to the waist, gold armlets and bangles, and hair tied in a bun. Beside them stands a carved wooden ceremonial pillar wrapped in a purple and gold cloth band and draped with white jasmine garlands tied with red flowers, resembling a flag-post or dhvaja stambha during a flag-hoisting ritual.
