A beach gathering under a heavy grey sky, with a seated group on sand in front of moored wooden boats and a low coastline. On the left, a man in orange-red robes sits cross-legged near orange parasols and a gilded seat, with a mala-like garland visible; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm an identity. Around him, many women in white clothes with red shawls sit close together, and a few wear red or yellow saris. A woman in a blue top and another in white sit near a small child on the right. Scattered bags, slippers and red cloths lie on the sand. Roles are devotees and attendees at a beach satsang or padapuja-style sitting.
