Tiles labelled with place names include Keeto Ecuador, Charlotte Srivedam, St. Louis Festus, Oklahoma Somnatham, NY Varanasi Morris Plains NJ, New York/Varanasi-Wilmington, Sun Prairie Wisconsin, San Jose Madurai, and El Paso Texas. Within the tiles, small groups sit on mats and cushions in front of shrines with lit oil lamps and deity murti, and some people sit in chairs; one tile shows a person in a red top and rudraksha mala seated in a red chair. The screen itself is shown, not the people inside it, and a copyright notice is overlaid at the bottom right.2015-02-16February 15 20152015-02-15February 14 20152015-02-14April 06 20132013-04-06A photograph of a large video-wall screen showing a grid of live video-conference feeds for a satsang, with a cinema-like frame and a grey wall around it.

One Toronto tile shows a man in dark robes and a head covering seated by a small offering. Altars with deity murtis, orange drapes and a large framed portrait appear in several tiles. The screen shows people only on screens, so no physical participants are in the photographed room; the feeds show seated devotees in groups.2013-11-15A photograph of a large screen displaying a grid of video-call panels from multiple KAILASA centres, each labelled with a city name such as New York Varanasi, Los Angeles Arunachala, Toronto Kailasam, Singapore Singapuram, Atlanta Ujjaini, Seattle Chidambaram, Oklahoma Somnatham and Houston Kalahasthi.
