A multi-panel video-conference collage shown on a large screen, with six panels of live feeds. Other panels show seated devotees in white and pastel clothes with rudraksha malas in front of deity altars with garlanded murtis, a group of seated attendees in a hall, and two women in saris and a woman in dark clothing seated before a red flower arrangement and a brass vessel. The image is a screen capture of a remote satsang and contains no physical people beyond the screen, so the people count reflects the panels as depicted imagery.

A photograph of a projection screen showing a video conference grid of several live feeds from different ashram rooms. The top-left feed shows a row of seated people in front of ornate shrines with deity murtis and floral arrangements. A bald man in orange and white robes with a rudraksha mala sits near the front. The top-right feed shows people in white clothes and a red-shawled man seated on a carpet before colourful deity figures. The bottom-middle feed shows a man in white kurta and a seated man in a grey shirt before a pink and red shrine with a deity figure and a kalasha. The bottom-right feed shows a figure in red seated on an ornate throne-like seat with yellow and blue decorations.

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.

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.
