A large screen shows a grid of video-conference tiles from satsang locations around the world, including Houston Kalahasti Adheenam, Surrey Canada, Singapore Singapuram, Minot North Dakota, Warrington UK, Bangalore North, Dubai Vaidyanatham, Doncaster UK, Hyderabad Adheenam and Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Trivandrum. People in each tile sit or stand in rooms with framed portraits, deity murtis and altars. In one tile a man in orange and white stands beside a placard reading DAKOTA DUNES, and in another a woman holds a placard reading SLOVAKIA POPRAD. A woman in red and white in the lower-right tile lifts her hand, and a man in white sits near a throne-like seat with a kalasha in another tile. The screen is a satsang broadcast, so the people shown are on screens rather than physically present, and no speaker is visibly identifiable as a person.
