Dhvajāropa (ध्वजारोप) refers to the ceremony of “flag hoisting” as described in the Śaivāgamas.—Conducting utsava without dhvajāropa or flag hoisting, will cause failure to the king. The flag should be hoisted again after performing śāntihoma. If the flag isn’t taken in procession around the village, the village and the kingdom will have unauspiciousness.
