A dark-skinned adult male, barefoot, stands on a sandy beach in Gokarna, India, facing and smiling directly at the viewer. He has dark, curly hair and a full beard. He wears an olive green short-sleeved t-shirt, light grey shorts with dark horizontal stripes, and a dark backpack on his shoulders. Multiple strands of dark brown rudraksha beads are draped around his neck. He holds a significant quantity of necklaces, bracelets, and shell ornaments in both hands, including items made of colorful beads, shells, and tassels. The lower half of another person's legs, clad in grey patterned shorts, is visible in the extreme lower-left foreground. A light-colored dog lies partially obscured on the sand behind the man's legs. The background reveals a calm sea with small waves breaking on the sandy shore. A distinct rocky outcrop extends into the ocean on the far left. A dark, distant boat is visible on the horizon, and a solitary figure is in the water closer to the shore. The sky is hazy and light blue-grey.
