A large display screen in a hall shows a live video link of a temple room decorated with red drapes, a gilded deity murti and a garlanded altar. A blonde woman in a pale patterned top stands centrally, while a woman in a red and orange sari with gold jewellery stands to the right. Seated devotees on a red floral carpet include a woman in red, a woman in a white top, and a boy in a white shirt and blue trousers. A floral kalasha-style arrangement of flowers sits in the foreground. A caption reads Seattle Chid, indicating a remote centre. No a person candidate is visible on screen, so the identity is unclear.
