A multi-panel video-conference grid, shown as a projected photograph of a screen, with about a dozen live feeds of groups from different locations gathered for a session. Panels show people seated on floors and sofas, some in white or orange clothing, a few with malas, and small shrines with deity murti and framed pictures in several rooms. Captions name locations including Singapore, Romania, Slovakia, Amersfoort-Netherlands, York-Varanasi, Jorpati-Nepal, Hongkong-Sirkazhi, Temple City, Colombo-Srilanka, Istanbul and Tucson. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.
