Outdoor photograph at the Bidadi ashram: a shirtless man with a rudraksha-like adornment and a long garland of red and yellow flowers stands centre-right with palms pressed together, while a long-haired figure in orange robes faces him with a hand raised. Around them, saffron-robed sadhus and white-clad men in dhoti and white shirts stand in a semicircle, and a woman in orange saris on the right and a woman in orange on the far right join their palms in greeting. Two large decorated parasols in red, yellow and blue, with tassels, are held above the group, and a brass tray with flower garlands sits at the left edge. A videographer with a camera on his shoulder films, coconut palms and a thatched hut stand behind, and a signboard reading Bidadi Ashram is visible. A yellow-robed man in a turban stands behind the group.
