A multi-panel video wall showing a live satsang across several temple and centre locations. Panels show people lying or sitting on mats in temple halls decorated with deity murtis, garlands and red drapes. Labels on panels read Somnath Oklahoma, Phoenix Kancheepuram, Los Angeles Arunachala, Prayag, Singapuram and San Jose Madurai. In the lower right panel a woman in saffron clothing with a long shawl stands before a gold ornate backdrop garlanded with flowers, but the appearance does not establish identity. Counting only clearly visible physical people in the scene is difficult, so the group is treated as a large gathering.
