A photograph of a large screen showing a satsang group at a centre labelled Kuala Lumpur - Palani. In the foreground, the back of a bald head is partly visible. On screen, a seated man in a white dhoti and red shawl with a rudraksha mala presses his palms together, flanked by others in white and red clothing, with women in white saris. Behind them is a deity murti adorned with garlands, a brass lamp, and a framed portrait labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda on the wall. A seated figure in blue and yellow garments with white garlands sits on a golden throne-like seat, with a band of white and red fabric draped over the deity shrine. Garlands and potted plants decorate the room.

A photograph of a video screen showing a live link titled "Kuala Lumpur - Palani" with a second banner partially visible below reading "Los Angeles". The screen shows a seated group of about 15 people in white clothes in a room with orange and pink draped surfaces and small deity murtis on a shelf at the upper right. At the front, a man in white with a white shawl sits cross-legged on a bed of orange and white cloth, and a young person in white with a red shawl and glasses holds a white cloth at right.

A photograph of a live video-conference screen showing a room used for a Toronto Kailasam group session. In the foreground a white banner reads TORONTO KAILASAM in bold black letters. Beside it, a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure is garlanded with orange and red marigold flowers. Five women sit on the floor on rugs: one in black, one in a red sari, two in white and cream with long hair, and one in white with a rudraksha-style necklace who is smiling and gesturing. A brass thali with offerings, a small kalasha-like vessel and a covered plate sit on a low table. Chairs are stacked against the back wall.

Seated on the floor are a woman in a white top with a laptop in front of her, a young man in a white shirt and blue trousers sitting cross-legged on a mat, and a woman in white kneeling beside a deity display. On the right, a decorated shrine with a garlanded arch of flowers holds deity murti and kalasha-like offerings, with a banner reading MALAYSIA PALANI.

A screen shows a live video-conference feed captioned "TORONTO KAILASAM" in the top banner and "Toronto-Kailasham" at the bottom. Four people sit in a bright room with white walls and a white-framed window. On the left, a smiling woman in an orange robe and orange shawl sits beside a younger woman in a white top. In the centre, a woman in an orange sari with a shawl and a bindi presses her palms together in greeting. Behind them, a bald man in a dark patterned shirt stands with his arms folded. On the right, a man in white kurta clothing and glasses holds a mobile phone to his ear and smiles. The image is of a screen, so the people shown are depicted rather than physically present.

A large screen displays a video-conference grid of many live feeds from different centres, each labelled with a place name such as Toronto Kailasam, Seattle Chidambaram, Oklahoma Somnatham, San Jose Madurai, Sharjah, Ohio Prayag, Kuala Lumpur-Palani, Singapore Sivaganga and Los Angeles Ayuda Nagaram. Inside the panels, people sit on mats around decorated puja tables with offerings, flowers and oil lamps, some in saffron and red clothing, while others stand or sit in a satsang-style gathering. A small framed portrait on one panel shows a smiling saffron-robed figure, identified only by its caption.
