A nine-panel video-call grid showing multiple satsang groups seated in different locations, with handwritten or printed signs reading OHIO, SEATTLE USA, SINGAPORE and SAN JOSE beneath groups. Several groups sit on striped rugs before deity altars, garlands and flower arrangements; one group wears white and sits on mats with offerings. The bottom-right panel shows a man in saffron and maroon robes with a gold-bordered rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, seated before a gold-decorated backdrop with a visible raised hand gesture, and his cues are distinctive enough to mark him as a person depiction on screen. Other panels show a seated woman in a red sari with garlands and a central figure in white on a striped rug before deity images.
