A tall golden flagstaff with a red-orange cloth banner and a finial of golden bells and green leaves rises beside a seated black stone Nandi bull on a pedestal, with coconut palms behind. Two or three men in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas stand near the base, one holding a brass plate with offerings and another holding a small bell. Their hair is long and tied up, and they appear to be performing a ritual near the flagstaff, which is garlanded with red flowers.2020-06-26September 26 20162016-09-26June 26 20202020-06-26Outdoor flag hoisting ceremony on a paved courtyard beneath palm trees. A tall golden dhvaja pillar with a saffron flag is being raised by two men in orange robes holding ropes, one bare-chested with rudraksha malas. Nearby a dark stone Nandi bull sits draped in a red cloth. A group of about a dozen people in saffron and orange robes stand in a line behind the pillar, some playing drums, while others in white dhoti-style clothing stand at the right. A framed deity image rests on a stand beside the pillar.2020-04-25 +1 copiesApril 26 20202020-04-26April 26 20202020-04-26 +1 copiesDecember 23 20082008-12-23December 10 20112011-12-10April 26 20202020-04-26 +1 copiesDecember 23 20082008-12-23September 30 20082008-09-30Outdoors among tall coconut palms under an overcast sky, three sannyasis in saffron-orange cloths pull ropes that hoist a tall gold-painted pole topped with a bundled ornament and bells.
