Outdoor beach scene at shallow water's edge at dusk, with a seated figure in the centre wearing a rust-red cloth with a red turban and rudraksha mala, seated on a low wooden stool with a leopard-print cushion, feet in the sea. Standing around are devotees in white and saffron robes, a man in white dhoti with a red sash and rudraksha mala beside a man bare-chested in saffron cloth, and a group of women and girls in saris, kurtas and lanyard badges watching from the surf and sand, with trees and hills behind. Arguably a sacred water ritual at the beach.
