A projected multi-panel collage of live video feeds from several satsang centres, shown on a screen in a dim room. The top-left panel shows a man in saffron and yellow robes with a yellow head covering, seated on an ornate red-and-gold throne, with a deity image visible at lower left; its figure appears on a screen and is an uncertain candidate for the a person depiction. Other panels show groups seated on mats and floors in Singapore, Guadeloupe, Ohio/Prayag, Malaysia (Palani) with a decorated deity altar, and Seattle (Chidambaram) with devotees in white and orange seated in front of altars and a small brass lamp. A few panels show decorated deity shrines with garlands, flowers, and oil lamps. The collage is a graphic of live feeds, so no physical people are counted in the photo beyond the screen content.
