A photograph of a large screen displaying a nine-panel video-conference grid of satsang participants from different locations. Panels labelled OHIO, SEATTLE USA, LA, NEW YORK USA, SAN JOSE and ATLANTA show groups seated on rugs and cushions in white and coloured clothing, with devotees holding placards and a deity shrine in some rooms. In the bottom-right panel, a figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a purple cushion, a person, though the appearance is uncertain from this small view. Other panels show a figure in a saffron-orange robe leading a ritual near a brass lamp, and a placard reading STOP ATROCITIES AGAINST SWAMI NITHYANANDA. Many people are visible across the panels, though the total is best estimated as a range.
