A large screen displays a multi-panel collage of event photographs, arranged in a grid. Panels show groups of seated devotees in white, saffron, blue and pink clothing at ritual settings with garlanded deity murtis, kalashas and flower decorations. A blue label reads HOUSTON and a red-and-white label reads SEATTLE. In the centre, a man in white dhoti and shawl sits on a mat among seated devotees, one wearing purple. The photograph itself shows a screen display, and the visible people are pictured within the collage panels rather than physically present.
