A large flat-screen monitor in a dark room shows a six-panel video-conference grid of yoga and meditation sessions at different ashram centres. Panels show people seated on mats and cushions before decorated deity murtis, shrines with oil lamps, flower garlands and offering plates. In the top-middle panel a man in a white shirt sits near a shrine, and in the top-right panel several women in blue, white and orange clothing sit with plates of offerings. The bottom-right panel shows an empty ornate golden throne with red cushions and a framed portrait of a seated figure in orange, surrounded by flower garlands, a brass lamp and a lotus-shaped canopy. Labels read PHOENIX, SEATTLE USA and SAN JOSE. Pictured people are on screens, not in the room with the camera.
