A photograph of a flat-screen monitor showing a Vidyo video-conference grid of nine live feeds, with a Vidyo toolbar at top left. Most panels show seated groups of devotees in rows, some in white, others in colourful kurtas and saris, sitting on mats and cushions before shrines, garlanded deity images, and marigold decorations. One panel shows a seated group at tables near an orange cloth. The bottom-right panel shows a man with long dark hair in an orange robe and a rudraksha mala, seated on an ornate silver-and-gold throne beside an oil lamp, with a microphone in front of him; the Swamiji (probable) cues are the long hair, saffron robe, mala and throne, so the figure is a probable in-person presenter appearing via video link.
