A photograph of a group of men standing waist-deep in shallow sea water on a sandy shore under a pale blue sky. In the centre, a man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and bracelets, wearing an orange cloth, kneels in the water holding a round metal tray of offerings, possibly rice or flowers. Behind him, a bearded man in an orange dhoti holds a brass pot. Others in white dhotis with gold borders, some bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas, stand with palms pressed together in prayer. Several have white markings on their foreheads and arms. The scene suggests a water ritual or offering on the shore.
