A group photograph on an outdoor stone terrace beside the sea, with waves and a distant temple on a headland behind. A seated figure in the centre sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a deep red-orange dhoti and shawl, a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant; a trident is held at his side. Around him, a crowd of devotees in white and red-orange clothes, several holding tall silver staffs and tridents; one woman in a white headscarf and white outfit kneels in front, and a shaven-headed man in orange-red robes stands at the right. The seated figure has a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair, and the surrounding people wear mala beads and name badges.
