A beach scene with pale sand and scattered pebbles in the foreground. A man in a short-sleeved patterned shirt and khaki trousers sits cross-legged on the sand, one hand pressed to his forehead, wearing grey sandals. Beside him sits a figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a long dark swept-back hairstyle and a long rudraksha mala around the neck, seated barefoot and eyes closed. An orange cloth lies folded on the sand next to them. In the background are a white parasol, folding chairs, a dune with fencing, and several people in casual clothes and a white garment walking along the beach.
