Four men walk barefoot along a sandy beach at the water's edge, with pale surf rolling in behind them under a hazy sky. The man in the centre has long dark hair swept back and a full beard and wears a rust-orange saffron wrap with a long orange sash. To his left a younger man in a white dhoti and shawl with yellow-gold borders and a rudraksha mala walks gazing toward the sea. On the right a shaven-headed man in an orange dhoti with gold border touches his forehead, and at the far right edge another man in white with gold borders carries sandals. Appearance-based candidate: a person for the long-haired, bearded figure in orange, who walks in the centre of the group; the cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads on the group.
