A procession of monastic trainees in a hall at AadiKailaasa, Bidadi, walking past large yellow and patterned hanging banners. Several young men wear white dhotis with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several young women wear saffron-orange saris with white blouses; some carry long bamboo staffs topped with small saffron flags. Two figures in front have their palms pressed together in namaskar. At the far right, a figure in saffron robes stands on a raised red platform beside a small television and a throne-like seat, with a saffron-clad person near a shrine area in the background. A red-carpeted floor and a black speaker sit at left, with a standing fan visible.
