Only the lower body and one arm are visible: the figure wears a deep red-orange cloth wrap with a gold border, and the right hand, with a red thread and a rudraksha bracelet of brown beads on the wrist, touches the water. A brown rudraksha mala hangs at the upper edge of the frame. No face is shown. The image is a photograph of a bath in the ocean at Tiruchendur, near the Subrahmanya Swami temple.
