A photograph of a large group of people standing along a wet sandy beach at dusk, with the sea and a wooded hillside behind them. In the centre, a man wearing a red-orange turban and a deep red dhoti with a gold-edged sash stands facing away, with a rudraksha-style garland. Beside him a bald man with bare shoulders wears an orange-gold cloth draped over one shoulder and a garland, and many devotees in white, red and orange garments with garlands stand in a line. A young girl in a yellow top holds a small bag at right, and a man in white kurta and shorts stands at the far right. The scene is a beach gathering of devotees.
