Brihadeeswarar Temple, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India.

Dhwaja Stambha, also known as Dhwaja Stambham is a flagstaff, a common feature of South Indian Hindu temples

Two other objects that are grouped together with this flagstaff, are the bali peetam (altar for offerings) and the vehicle (vahana) of the deity to which the temple is dedicated. Symbolically, these three objects are obstacles that protect the sanctuary of the temple from the impure and undevoted.^[1]
