A large wall screen shows a video-conference grid of many remote participants from different locations, including tiles labelled Cluj, Romania, Karlsruhe-Germany, Phillip Island-Australia, Amsterdam-Netherlands and Alice Springs, Australia. Participants sit in homes and rooms, some in white clothes, some in orange. In the bottom-right tile, a man in a large red-and-orange turban, orange robe and beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne, labelled Self View. Appearance matches the candidate cues of turban, ornate orange clothing and rudraksha-style beads, so he is a probable Swamiji on screen; the Self View label shows the camera feed. The screen is a depiction of a satsang session, and the frame includes dark surrounding wall.
