Outdoor beach scene beside calm sea and rocky shoreline under a partly cloudy sky. A man in a white dhoti holds an orange umbrella over an ornate silver-framed red velvet throne with a matching red footstool and small silver side table. A long-haired man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl stands barefoot on sand, bare-chested with a red thread on his wrist, walking past the throne. A woman in a pink kurta and red patterned skirt with long hair walks nearby. A man kneels at left wearing a rudraksha-style mala and orange cloth, beside a small brass vessel. A patterned mat lies on the sand. The long-haired central figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and orange ceremonial dress, but appearance alone is not sufficient to confirm his identity.
