A photograph of a projected video screen showing a home shrine event labelled HOUSTON KALAHASTI. A woman with short grey hair, glasses and a white top stands at right, holding a small object near the face of a young man in a dark t-shirt with a name badge who sits at a table. A red cloth covers the table with offerings in front of him. Behind them a shelf holds small deity murtis and a framed image of a woman in orange, and a white-robed figure stands at left. A brick wall and wooden chairs complete the room.

A photograph of a large display screen showing a live video-conference feed of a group seated indoors with palms pressed together in namaste. A printed banner at top reads Houston Kalahasti, and a caption at bottom reads Houston-Umesh. Several people wear white, one woman wears a purple saree, another a green top with blue shawl, and a man at right wears an orange garment. Yellow walls, a window with blinds and a potted plant sit behind them. The people appear on a screen, not physically present in the room.

Indoor photo at a gathering hall with a patterned pillar and draped fabric ceiling. A man in a long-sleeved orange robe, with long dark hair tied back, places his hand on the head of an older man with white hair and glasses, who is smiling and leaning forward. On the left, a woman in a white and red sari with a rudraksha mala looks on with hands folded. On the right, a smiling young man with long hair wears an orange shawl and holds a tray of offerings. The scene suggests a blessing or personal greeting.

Photograph of a screen showing a living room with three people seated on a patterned red rug before cream leather sofas. A woman in a green sari with a red border talks on a mobile phone beside a younger woman in a red shawl and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala, who sits cross-legged. Offerings are arranged on the rug: a plate of fruit, brass plates and a kalasha-like vessel on a white cloth. A paper sign reads HOUSTON KALAHASTI. A framed portrait of a woman in an orange outfit hangs on the red-draped chair at right. Printed copyright text overlays the image.

Indoor photo in a bright room with white walls and a white ceiling molding, with a brass-and-glass ceiling lamp at upper right. A shaved-headed woman in a plain white tunic with a red bindi and several bangles raises a gold phone toward a man in a maroon fleece top with a grey panel and a rudraksha mala with a red tassel; he wears glasses and a white name badge and smiles while looking at the phone. A bearded man in a grey cardigan stands behind them, and a framed abstract painting in red and white hangs on the wall. The man in the maroon fleece has no saffron, crown or ornate ceremonial clothing, so no identification is made.
