A large crowd stands on a wet, sandy beach under a pale sky at dusk. A central seated figure wears a rust-brown robe, a matching red-brown turban, and a long rudraksha mala with ornate gold necklaces, sitting on a low gold-and-leopard-print seat with bare feet in shallow water. Around them, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left, a man in saffron-orange dhoti and orange shawl stands right holding a long staff, and a seated man in brown robes sits in the foreground. Women in saris and salwar kameez, some in pink, purple and gold, and children in colourful tops stand among them, many wearing orange event lanyards. A rudraksha-garlanded seated figure with bare feet and a turban fits the page's appearance cues for Swamiji (probable), shown in person in the central seat.

Arguably a sacred water ritual at the beach.2015-12-21
