A grid of nine video-conference tiles showing devotee groups in different locations, labelled OHIO, SEATTLE USA, LA, NEW YORK USA, SAN JOSE USA and ATLANTA. Most groups sit on colourful woven mats and cushions in white or pastel clothes, and some have offerings or altar setups in front of them. In the bottom-right tile a bald man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-purple throne, with a sign reading Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam beneath him. A handmade placard in the lower left reads STOP ATROCITIES AGAINST SWAMI NITHYANANDA. The image is a screen showing live feeds, so the people appear on a display rather than physically present in this room.
