Outdoor photo at a sandy seashore with calm sea behind a crowd of devotees. In the centre, a man in an orange-red dhoti and wrap wears a long red and orange flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, with a gold-trimmed red garment; he stands among others in saffron and orange robes. Around him, men in white dhotis and yellow-bordered shawls, and women in white saris, stand and wade in the shallows; a man in white bends toward someone kneeling on the sand. A man at left holds an ornate silver trident-like staff with a yellow shawl. Some people are bathing in the sea in the background, and a few boats are on the water.
