A photograph of a large monitor displaying a multi-panel collage of video stills from temple and ashram gatherings. Several panels show groups of people seated on floors and mats before decorated altars with deity murtis, garlands and flowers. A bottom-centre panel shows a bare-chested man with a white tilak, rudraksha-style garland and a red-patterned backdrop, and a right-hand panel shows a figure in saffron robes seated among offerings. Some panels carry printed city-name signs such as Seattle, Oklahoma Sonnetham and San Jose Madurai. The collage content is screen imagery, so no physical people are counted in the room beyond the handful of people in the scene behind the monitor.
