Outdoor procession at Bidadi Adheenam. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe wears a long white-and-marigold garland with green, orange and blue ribbon accents and a rudraksha mala, with a red mark on the forehead and eyes closed. Around him, men in white dhotis and saffron shawls carry gold-painted staffs and a trident-topped pole, and a man in white with glasses and a rudraksha mala stands at right. A pale yellow building and blue sky are behind them. The scene reads as a ceremonial walk with attendants carrying ritual staffs.

Flanking him, shaved-headed sannyasis in orange robes and gold beaded necklaces walk barefoot, one holding the staff, and a man in a white-and-gold dhoti stands among the devotees. A bare-chested man at right in orange cloth looks ahead, and a red-and-white decorated pole is visible at the upper right.
