A photograph taken from a seaside platform at Rameshwaram. In the left foreground a bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a tilak on his forehead presses his palms together in prayer, wearing a rudraksha mala and a red thread on his wrist. Behind a white-tiled railing, a crowd of devotees in mixed clothing, including a woman in a yellow sari and men in white and striped shirts, watches. A man in a striped shirt and orange dhoti wades into the sea beside wooden posts and steps into the water. A smartphone is held at the right edge. The sea and pale sky fill the background.
