A photograph of two monitors in a room, the right monitor showing a grid of eight video-conference feeds of Paduka Puja gatherings at different locations. Feeds show deity murtis and shrines draped in red, pink and purple, flower garlands, kalasha-style offerings and a seated figure beneath a red canopy, a person in a dark shirt seated at a table, and a group seated in a yellow-lit room with a sanctified setup. One feed shows a seated figure in orange robes on a flower-decorated throne. Watermarked archive text overlays the lower right edge but is omitted here. The left monitor displays a computer desktop with file thumbnails. Several people are partly visible at the edges of the room; the photographed people are only partly visible.

Photograph of two video monitors displaying a grid of live video feeds from multiple locations. On the left monitor, a figure in a red-and-white outfit stands in a room near a shrine, and a grid of small panels shows a group of seated devotees in white and colourful clothes, a woman in red standing beside an orange-clad figure, and a woman in red seated on a golden throne-like chair. On the right monitor, many panels show shrines with deity murti, kalasha and flower decorations, and groups of devotees, with name labels such as Singapuram and Oklahoma Somaithan visible. A small white box with cables and a black power adapter sits on the desk in front, with a wooden frame at the right edge.

The large screen on the right shows nine tiles: several rooms with decorated deity altars, garlanded murtis, kalasha and oil lamps, and seated participants on mats, with one tile labelled SEATTLE USA and another PHOENIX. Lower tiles show a figure in white seated beside an ornate gold throne with a canopy against a purple backdrop, with oil lamps in front. The smaller left screen shows a similar throne image with a presentation slide. A video camera is mounted above.

Brass lamps and cables sit on the table in the foreground. The people shown are on screens, not physically present.

A photograph of a dimly lit hall where several small monitors sit on a table draped with an orange cloth. On the left, one screen shows a deity murti with a crown and ornate decorations. A larger monitor on the right displays a grid of many small live feeds showing ritual scenes: decorated murtis, people seated in rows, a small devotional gathering and a fire pit area. Some feeds show people in white and orange clothing. Partially visible audience figures sit in the dark background. Orange-lit oil lamps glow at the left edge. The scene is a monitoring station for a satsang or ritual event, with no clearly identifiable individual in the foreground.
