A photograph of a monitor showing a video-conference grid of many small participant tiles, each a remote webcam view of a different room. Visible tiles include people seated on a floor in a living room beside a sign reading WESTON FL, a crowded room of white-clad people, a person holding a sign reading CHENNAI, a woman in red holding a sign reading MEBANE NORTH CAROLINA, a sign reading EAST LONDON U.K., a tile labelled SADHNA KAILASH SURREY canada, and a tile with a sign reading LA POMONA. Participants wear mostly white, red and muted clothing, with some rudraksha-style beads visible. The grid is a remote satsang-style gathering, and the screen framing is an unremarkable video call with no identifiable central figure.
