Photograph of several devotees seated from behind on a grey stone ledge, each holding up a smartphone that shows a live video feed. They wear white dhotis with orange-gold borders, and some have bare upper bodies and rudraksha malas. Above them a raised platform is covered with a red, blue and green patterned cloth, with a brass railing at the right. The scene suggests devotees watching a live-streamed satsang.
