Outdoor beach scene at the water's edge, sand wet with surf. A seated figure in a rust-brown robe with a maroon turban and a long rudraksha mala sits on a low gold-trimmed wooden stool or peetha, bare feet on the sand. Beside and behind him stand a man in a brown dhoti with bronze armbands and a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala. A crowd of devotees surrounds them, including a woman in a white sari with a lanyard, a woman in a red outfit, and several young girls in lanyards. Flags fly on a pole above the crowd.
