Outdoor beach gathering on pale sand under an overcast sky, with a large crowd of devotees dressed in white clothing and red shawls seated in rows. At the centre, a small ornate shrine or murti stands beneath a tiered orange-and-gold umbrella canopy, with a figure in saffron-orange robes standing nearby and white-clad attendants around it. Several people in white are holding small offerings, and coconuts and fruit sit on the sand in front of the seated devotees. Tall bamboo poles and low pavilion structures frame the background, with trees and buildings beyond.
