Devotees stand in a line at the edge of shallow sea water at a coastal temple shore, many wearing saffron-orange shawls over white dhotis and saris. A man in front wears an orange turban and orange garments with a long gold-coloured necklace and holds a tall trident-topped staff; a woman in a white and orange sari and a blonde woman in white with an orange shawl stand nearby. Several people wade in the water in the background, a golden temple gopuram rises beyond a small shrine building, and a few people are visible on the rocks at left.

A coastal shoreline at a temple town, with shallow sea water in the foreground and a stone breakwater to the left. Devotees in saffron and orange shawls and white clothes stand in the water and along the edge, one holding a long ceremonial staff with a trident-like top. A small gopuram with ornate tower stands behind a low building; a crowd of onlookers and people in yellow garments gathers on the right. A man in a red-orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala is visible among the group, but his face is not clearly enough shown to link him to the page's claim, so the a person field is unsure. Watermarked credit text appears in the lower right corner, which is not transcribed.2009-07-13Devotees in saffron-orange robes stand on a concrete seawall at the edge of a calm sea, with a few people wading in the shallows to the left. A bare-footed man in orange dhoti and shawl steps toward the water, while a woman in white sari with an orange shawl and beaded necklace stands at right beside a bearded man in orange with a rudraksha mala. A white-clad man in a yellow-trimmed garment stands behind them. Behind the seawall stands a small shop with a trident sign and a temple gopuram beside a tree. The setting suggests a pilgrimage bathing ritual at a coastal temple.2009-07-13July 13 20092009-07-13A crowd of devotees stands waist-deep in shallow sea water on a beach, many women in white, orange and yellow saris and garments, some with dark hair in buns and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. On the right edge, a young man in a saffron-orange robe with a beaded mala around his neck stands in the water with his hands together. Behind them, other bathers wade in the sea, and small wooden boats sit on the horizon under a pale sky.
