A photograph of a television screen showing a live satsang broadcast. Five people sit on a carpet in a living room with their eyes closed and hands resting on their thighs, in a meditative posture. On the left, a woman wears a white zip jacket and dark trousers. Beside her, a woman in a dark patterned top with a pendant necklace sits with palms down. A man in a white kurta sits behind them, and a woman in a white top with a dark scarf kneels at the right. Behind them a large sign reads MILL VALLEY and VAIRAV... with small photographs.

A large screen displays a multi-panel video conference of satsang participants in several locations. Top-left panel shows three people seated with a sign reading MILL VALLEY; a central panel shows seated people with a sign reading WASHINGTON, D.C. SRIPURAM; a top-right panel shows a crowded room with a sign reading SLOVAKIA; a bottom-left panel shows a group in white clothes seated on the floor; a bottom-centre panel shows a man in blue and a woman in pink with a sign reading UK, and a shaved-headed person in orange. In the bottom-right panel a woman with a red bindi speaks into a microphone.

A photograph of a wall-mounted display screen showing a tiled video-conference style grid of live feeds. The largest panel shows a large seated gathering in a hall with a golden deity murti and a maroon curtain behind them; many people with eyes covered by their hands are doing a meditation or kriya practice. In the foreground, a man in cream clothes with an orange-red shawl and a beaded necklace sits prominently, hands raised to his eyes, with a small white sign reading OM beneath. Other panels show more seated participants in white and dark clothing and a bright floral arrangement.

A photograph of a monitor or video wall showing several live video feeds of a satsang or puja gathering. The main feed shows a group of people seated on a red-carpeted floor: a woman in a purple sari and another in a blue sari sit near a tray of ritual items, a woman in a maroon-and-beige sari sits beside them, and a figure in white sits at left. Another feed at right shows people in white, pink and red clothing seated on the floor beside a white sofa. Small brass items and offerings are visible in front of the group. The monitor frame is dark in the foreground. The on-screen people are depictions on screens, not physical people in this scene, and no a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
