Two wall-mounted flat screens show a live video-conference session. The lower screen displays a figure seated in a reclining armchair against an orange background with the words "Nithya Dhyan Yoga"; the figure wears a red-orange garment, a red bindi and long rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. The upper screen is a grid of video tiles showing groups of participants in various rooms, labelled with place names including "Toronto Kailasam" and "Nithyananda University Los Angeles". The room has white walls, a black speaker and a wall switch panel. The screens show people in the videos, not physical people in this room, and no one is physically present in the frame.
