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.2013-11-15October 11 20132013-10-11
