Photograph of two wall-mounted flat-screen monitors in a room with plain white walls. The upper screen shows a grid of video-conference tiles of seated participants labelled with place names such as Nithyananda University Los Angeles, Temple City, Toronto Kailasam and Dallas. The lower screen shows a speaker in a red-orange robe with long plaited hair strung with rudraksha beads, seated in a brown leather chair before the title card 'Nithya Dhyan Yoga'. Between the screens and a speaker box sits a small laptop edge. On the lower screen, a depicted teacher in saffron-red robes with rudraksha malas is seated in a tan chair. Several small grid tiles also show people in orange and white clothing with rudraksha malas. No physical people are in the room itself.

Photograph of two wall-mounted flat-screen monitors in a plain room with white walls. The upper screen shows a grid of video-conference tiles of seated groups in different venues, with captions such as Nithyananda University Los Angeles, Temple City, Toronto Kailasam and Dakota Dham. The lower screen shows a woman in a red-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala, seated in a brown leather armchair and speaking, under the title Nithya Dhyan Yoga. Her appearance is not a reliable basis for identifying her, so the a person value is unsure. No physical people are clearly visible in the room.

Two wall-mounted flat screens show a live video-conference session. The lower screen displays a figure seated in a reclining armchair against an orange background with the words "Nithya Dhyan Yoga"; the figure wears a red-orange garment, a red bindi and long rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. The upper screen is a grid of video tiles showing groups of participants in various rooms, labelled with place names including "Toronto Kailasam" and "Nithyananda University Los Angeles". The room has white walls, a black speaker and a wall switch panel. The screens show people in the videos, not physical people in this room, and no one is physically present in the frame.

Photograph of two wall-mounted display screens in a dark room. The left screen shows a grid of video-call tiles of people in home and ashram rooms, labelled with places such as St. Louis-Manchester, Los Angeles Aadheenam, Winnipeg Canada and San Diego. The right screen shows a man in an orange-red turban and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, seated on a golden throne with red cushions, speaking into a headset microphone. Because he appears on a screen, this is a depiction; the appearance cues are consistent with a person, but the image is small and his features are not verifiable.

A screen shows a multi-window video-conference grid of temple and ashram locations, each labelled with a printed caption: HYDERABAD, RAMESWARAM, TORONTO KAILASAM, LOS ANGELES ARUNACHALA, SAN JOSE MADURAI, OHIO PRAYAG, OKLAHOMA SOMNATHAM and CHARLOTTE SRISAILAM. In the Rameswaram window, a row of seated devotees in white, pink and green clothes sits on a mat, one man in blue palms together, with a banana-leaf offering plate before them. In the Toronto window a bald man in a dark robe stands, and seated devotees in saffron and white sit nearby. The Oklahoma window shows a deity altar with decorated murtis and a standing figure in white. Several people are visible across the windows, mostly seated in satsang or puja settings.
