A large flat-screen monitor in a hotel ballroom displays a video-conference grid of many small tiles linking satsang participants from different locations. Tiles are labelled with place names such as HOUSTON AADHEENAM, SUGARLAND TEXAS, Warrington UK, Amersfoort Netherlands, Doncaster UK, Manhattan NY, London Southwest, and Thiruvanmiyoor Adheenam. Some tiles show seated devotees, a robed figure at a small altar, people in white clothes, and a woman in orange. Ceiling chandeliers and warm lights fill the lobby behind the screen, and a partial screen edge appears at left. The image shows a screen of remote feeds rather than people physically present in the room.
