A photograph of a large dark display screen showing a multi-panel collage of event photos. Labelled panels read NEW JERSEY - Onkareshwar, Calgary Amarnath, CHARLOTTE-SRISAILAM and SINGAPURAM. The panels show devotees seated on mats, a group of people in white clothes around a ritual setup with lamps and offerings, and a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace on the right. The collage itself contains no physical people; the screen is in a room with other monitors at the edges.
