A photograph of a large video wall showing a multi-panel live-stream grid of simultaneous satsang sessions at different centres. Each panel shows seated devotees before decorated shrines with deity murtis, flower garlands and kalasha-style decorations. One panel shows a man in a blue jacket and a woman in a sari seated before a red-draped altar labelled Malaysia; another shows a child doing a yoga pose on a purple mat beside seated participants labelled Singapuram; panels labelled Toronto Kailaasa, Seattle Chidambaram and Madurai show groups in saffron, white and bright dress before ornate shrines. No identifiable a person depiction is clearly visible; the figures on screen are devotees.

A photograph of a large monitor displaying a video conference grid of many small live feeds from different locations, each labelled with a place name. Feeds show groups of people seated in homes and centres: a woman in orange and a man in white at a table with flowers, a group in white seated on the floor, a man in an orange shawl in Bengaluru North, and a bald man in white with a mala and a woman in white with a mala in Port Washington NY. Labels include Singapore Singapuram, San Diego Tsru Alavi, New York Varanasi, Bengaluru North, Port Washington NY and Sri Julien Pranam. Visible people in the screens are part of the feeds, not physical people in the room.

A photograph of a large monitor displaying a multi-panel video conference grid of satsang locations. Panels show groups of devotees seated on the floor in white and orange clothes, with a shrine, deity murti and flower decorations visible in several rooms. Labels on the panels read SINGAPURAM, HYDERABAD and DALLAS DWARAKA, and SAN JOSE MADURAI appears in one panel. In the top-right panel a person wears white and orange, and in the lower-right panel a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a decorated gold headdress and garlands stands before a golden arch. No speaker's face is identifiable, and no clear appearance-based candidate for a person is evident, so the identity remains uncertain. Many small on-screen people are visible across the grid.
