A large flat-screen monitor displays a nine-panel video wall of satsang participants seated in rows across different locations, with a red banner reading HOUSTON in one panel. Many attendees sit cross-legged on the floor in colourful Indian clothes. The bottom-right panel shows a figure in saffron and orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation before a cushioned seat, with a long-haired appearance matching the cues for Swamiji (probable). The monitor stands in a tented hall with a white canopy and striped decorative pillars. The screen itself is a depiction of the event, not the physical scene.
