A multi-tile video call screen shows a satsang with many participant feeds joined together. Tiles include seated devotees in white and colourful clothes in a hall, a woman in yellow sitting on a pink mat before an altar labelled Oklahoma Somnatham, a group in a room with a 'Bangalore Nithyananda Vidyalaya' sign, a seated meditator labelled Adheena, a group before deity murtis and red drapes labelled Ohio Prayag, and a woman with hands raised in a tile labelled New Jersey Dhyanapeetham. The bottom-right tile shows a man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, rudraksha mala and a trident, lit against a green draped backdrop, a probable Swamiji depiction on a screen. Many deity murtis and garlanded altars appear across the tiles.

A photograph of a large monitor displaying a multi-panel collage of video stills from temple and ashram gatherings. Several panels show groups of people seated on floors and mats before decorated altars with deity murtis, garlands and flowers. A bottom-centre panel shows a bare-chested man with a white tilak, rudraksha-style garland and a red-patterned backdrop, and a right-hand panel shows a figure in saffron robes seated among offerings. Some panels carry printed city-name signs such as Seattle, Oklahoma Sonnetham and San Jose Madurai. The collage content is screen imagery, so no physical people are counted in the room beyond the handful of people in the scene behind the monitor.

A photograph of a large video wall showing a live multi-site satsang feed. Tiles show different locations: at the top left a temple with a decorated deity shrine and people in orange and white seated for pada-pooja; top right a group of people seated before a framed picture and yellow flowers; a centre room with a large seated congregation in orange and white clothing; a woman in a white top sitting on a mat before a person photo, with a small sign; and at the bottom right a man with a shaved head, white tilak and rudraksha beads, wearing orange and seated on a red cushioned throne before a red and gold backdrop, with a small mic on his collar. Other tiles show devotees in red and blue sitting on mats and a man in blue and a woman in pink at a ritual setup. Signs read Guadeloupe and Singapuram. The screen frame is on the right edge.

A multi-panel video wall showing a live satsang across several temple and centre locations. Panels show people lying or sitting on mats in temple halls decorated with deity murtis, garlands and red drapes. Labels on panels read Somnath Oklahoma, Phoenix Kancheepuram, Los Angeles Arunachala, Prayag, Singapuram and San Jose Madurai. In the lower right panel a woman in saffron clothing with a long shawl stands before a gold ornate backdrop garlanded with flowers, but the appearance does not establish identity. Counting only clearly visible physical people in the scene is difficult, so the group is treated as a large gathering.
