A 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. Each tile is labelled with a city-and-temple name, including Houston Kalashasthi, Charlotte Srisailam, Los Angeles Arunachala, Ohio Prayag, San Jose Madurai, Sharjah, Oklahoma Somanatham, Toronto Kailasam, Kuala Lumpur Palani and Seattle Chidambaram. Participants sit on mats and cushions in ashram-style rooms; some wear saffron and orange robes, others white, and several have shaved or covered heads. 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.
