Outdoor photograph of a fire-walking event at AdiKailaasa, Bidadi. A boy in a white short-sleeved shirt and white trousers walks barefoot through a long pit of glowing-dark charcoal embers lined with sand. Around the pit, men and boys in white kurtas and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, stand with hands folded in reverent gesture. Spectators in mixed clothing watch from both sides, and a man in white holds a long bamboo pole. A red-roofed building stands in the background under a clear sky.
