The screen itself is shown, not the people inside it, and a copyright notice is overlaid at the bottom right.2015-02-16February 15 20152015-02-15February 16 20152015-02-16A screen capture of a video call-style display showing a meditation or satsang room.

Panels labelled with place names include Charlotte Srisailam, Washington DC Sripuram, New York Varanasi, NY Varanasi Morris Plains NJ, Keeto Ecuador, Oklahoma Somnatham and NewYork/Varanasi-Wilmington. Many participants sit cross-legged in white clothes with white blindfolds or head coverings and rudraksha malas, meditating with hands in mudra. One panel shows a seated figure in white with a rudraksha mala beside a tray of offerings, and another shows a deity murti on an altar with a red and gold backdrop. Participants are seen through their individual screens, and the scene reads as a multi-location meditation session.2015-02-16
