A photograph of a crowd standing waist-deep in the sea at a shoreline, with calm blue water and a flat horizon behind them. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron robe and orange head wrap raises a silver trident-like ritual staff overhead, while nearby an orange-clad figure holds his hands up. Devotees around them wear white dhotis and white shirts, a man in an orange kurta stands at the front, a man in a dark blue bucket hat and white shirt faces away, and women wear saris including a green patterned sari and a purple blouse. Some people in the background are swimming or wading, and small boats appear on the distant water.
