A photograph of a man seen from behind at a seaside bathing area, his hands pressed together in namaskar at his face. He wears a rust-orange cloth wrapped over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala with long dreadlocked hair. Beside him stands another person with dreadlocks. Behind the railing, devotees stand on a white-tiled platform overlooking the sea, and others wade into the water on concrete steps with metal railings, some in colourful saris and lungis. The scene suggests a temple tirtha bathing ghat in Rameshwaram.
