A seated congregation fills a bright hall during a Sadashivoham 2016 program, with devotees sitting on red mats. Many wear saffron and orange robes with white dhotis and yellow borders, some with bare upper bodies and white or ash markings on their foreheads, and rudraksha malas around their necks. A bearded man in a khaki-green kurta with a rudraksha mala sits in the centre, and a few people in the back rows sit with hands folded in prayer. Children in saffron and white sit in the foreground, and the scene is calm and attentive. Several figures appear in the background, and a cream-coloured wall and warm lighting frame the room.
