Photograph of a large projection screen showing a grid of live video-conference feeds from multiple Nithya Dhyana Yoga sites. Each tile shows seated groups of devotees in rooms, many in white or light clothing, some in orange or saffron. Labels include Simi Valley California, Nithyananda University Los Angeles, Temple City, Newfoundland Canada, Toronto Kailasa, Washington, Guadeloupe, Amersfoort Netherlands, New York Varanasi, Phoenix Kanchipuram and Vancouver. One tile shows a man in orange robes seated in the upper left, and another shows a figure in white at the centre-left. Ritual setups with floral decorations and a deity altar appear in some rooms.
