Several people sit on the floor around a red cloth with plates of food and offerings, with a framed portrait of a woman in pink and white flowers on a stand behind them. A placard in the foreground reads WASHINGTON, D.C SRIPURAM. A bald man in a dark sweater and a man in a light jacket sit near the cloth, a woman in white sits among others, and a woman in a blue top stands at left. Bookshelves and white orchids fill the background.

A photograph of a live video-link satsang shown on a flat-screen monitor, with the broadcast itself visible. In a home room with bookshelves, a framed deity image and flower garlands, a seated group takes part. A man in a blue striped shirt sits with eyes lowered in front. An older man in white clothes with an orange shawl sits on a red cloth beside offerings. A woman in a red top and a woman in a light blue top sit on chairs, and another person in white sits behind. A small sign reads WASHINGTON, D.C SRIPURAM. A small screen inside the room shows a figure in the broadcast. Printed photos of a person sit on a side table. a person is not clearly identifiable here, so the central orange-shawled man is described only as an older devotee.

A framed portrait of a woman in red sits on a garlanded altar at right, beside a small brass deity murti. A white sign at lower left reads WASHINGTON, D.C. SRIPURAM. Physical people in the room are not present; the figures are on screen.

A photograph of a video-conference screen showing a satsang group in a home setting labelled on a white banner as "WASHINGTON DC SRIPURAM". A woman in the centre wears a white top and dark trousers with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind her, a woman in a yellow kurta with a green scarf stands, a woman in light grey sits cross-legged on a rug, a man in white stands, a bald man in a white top sits, and a woman in pale blue sits near a framed portrait garlanded with marigolds.
