Outdoor beach event at the shoreline where shallow water washes over sand. A central seated figure wears a rust-red turban, a dark maroon wrap draped over the shoulders, a dense mala of rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, sitting on a leopard-print cushioned gold throne with bare feet in the surf. Around them, a crowd in orange, red, saffron and white clothing wears lanyards and watches, some holding a ceremonial red-tasselled staff and a long metal rod. A man on the right in an orange wrap and rudraksha mala gestures toward the seated figure. The figure is smiling, and the scene suggests a ritual beach visit with devotees gathered close. Approximately 20 to 30 people visible.
