A photograph of large wall-mounted video screens showing a multi-site live link. The grid of panels shows groups of seated people in different locations: a row of devotees in white on a green carpet, a group in orange-lit space, and a panel labelled "TORONTO" with a seated woman in red and a brass plate of offerings. Other panels carry signs reading "KULIM MALAYSIA", "GUADELOUPE CENTER" and "MALAYSIA". In the lower right panel a figure wearing an orange-red turban and orange-red garment with a rudraksha mala holds a microphone and speaks. The screens are the subject; the people in the room are not visible.
