A photograph of a large video-conference wall display showing a grid of many simultaneous live feeds of participants gathered for a satsang. Participants sit on floors, sofas and beds in homes and ashram halls, some holding handmade signs such as Calgary Amaravathi, Blochmont, Salem Ashram, Nyskoka Canada, Dakota Dunes, Austin and Alwal Hyderabad. One tile shows a woman in an orange and yellow sari seated beside a red-cushioned seat. Another tile shows a ashram hall with many people in white clothes seated before a shrine. A few tiles show a man in a white shirt with a blue shirt reading AERO. The display itself is the main subject, with the people on screen presented as remote participants rather than physical people in this room.
