A photograph of several monitors in a dim room showing video feeds of a satsang and ritual event. The largest screens display tiled panels of groups of devotees at altars and gatherings, with a central figure in a red and white sari with garlands visible on one screen. A striped cloth lies on the floor in the foreground, and a laptop sits on a low table. Several screens show text windows and a portrait of a deity. No physical people appear in the foreground; those shown are only on the screens.

A photograph of two computer monitors displaying a video conference grid of many small live feeds. The upper-left feed shows a room with red curtains and a small altar with a deity murti and lamps, where a man in a dark t-shirt stands beside a seated person in white. The lower-left feed shows a seated group of devotees in white clothes, several with white head coverings, and a woman in a maroon sari with a gold border seated on an ornate cushioned chair beside a banner reading Arunachala Tiruvannamalai. The right monitor shows a dense grid of further remote participants in varied clothing. In the foreground, the blurred edges of the screens and cables are visible. No figure in the room itself is physically present except the photographer's subject matter on screens.

A photograph of a flat-screen monitor on a wooden table showing a video-conference grid of many small windows. Most windows show groups of people seated at events, some with banners and flower arrangements. The bottom-right window shows a woman in an orange sari and necklace seated on an ornate white-and-gold throne-style chair against a blue curtain. A second monitor is partly visible at left, and a small camera sits on the table in front. Physical people in the room are not clearly visible beyond the screens.

A photograph of a row of monitors on a table draped with an orange cloth with blue and white woven trim, black cables trailing beneath. The screens show photographs of groups of people, a figure in orange robes, and a bearded person in orange. A tall monitor on the right displays a stacked collage of event photographs including colourful deity images and a figure in orange seated with hands raised. A tripod stands at the right edge. Several people are faintly visible at the far right edge. Warm, dim room lighting.

Photograph of monitors on an orange-draped table showing a live multi-site satsang. The left screen is split into four video feeds: a group of devotees seated on mats in a room, two people in white sitting cross-legged, a figure in an orange robe seated on a gold-ornamented throne before a backdrop, and a woman in red and white beside it. The right screen shows a person in pink-orange robes with a rudraksha mala, hands in anjali, seated on a purple cushioned seat. Swamiji (probable): the figure on the right wears saffron-pink clothing and rudraksha beads, and the throne figure wears orange with long hair, consistent with Swamiji on screen. Room audience members sit in the background.

A photograph of an event hall with a row of flat-screen monitors on a draped orange-brown tablecloth in the foreground, showing live feeds of satsang and puja gatherings. Behind the monitors, a large seated audience is blurred in dim light, with many small oil lamps and candle flames glowing among them. A tripod-mounted video camera sits at the right edge, and a small black microphone rests on the table. One monitor shows a crowd in front of a decorated shrine with a row of framed portraits; the largest screen shows a grid of several rooms with people seated before decorated altars and offerings. Warm tones dominate, with people in red, orange and yellow clothing.

A photograph of two monitors on an orange-draped table showing a multi-panel video link of satsang centres. The left screen shows Dubai with a turbaned man in orange and devotees seated on the floor, and Dallas and Atlanta panels with seated devotees and a figure on a golden throne. The right screen shows Ohio with a flag, Houston with a seated group, and a panel with a figure in orange against a golden backdrop. Dark audience silhouettes are visible behind the screens, with cables and a small black device on the table.

A dim hall with several small monitors on a table draped in orange and maroon cloth with woven trim. On the right, a large screen shows a grid of multiple photo panels: devotees seated in rows, a deity murti decorated with flowers and garlands, a red-draped stage with a kalasha-style setup, and at lower right a portrait of a figure with long dark hair, a purple-toned garment and a large floral garland. The tiled screen is a video wall of event imagery, so the people shown are on screen rather than physically present in the room.

Video cameras on tripods and a broadcast monitor setup in a temple hall, filming a satsang event. The left monitor shows two men in white and saffron-red ritual clothes seated at microphones, one wearing a red and white garland and the other with a bare shaved head. The right monitor displays a multi-panel grid of smaller video feeds showing devotees seated and standing, a woman in a light sari bowing, and a decorated altar with a deity murti in the lower right. Blurred red curtains and a pale wall form the background.

A photograph of a dimly lit hall where several small monitors sit on a table draped with an orange cloth. On the left, one screen shows a deity murti with a crown and ornate decorations. A larger monitor on the right displays a grid of many small live feeds showing ritual scenes: decorated murtis, people seated in rows, a small devotional gathering and a fire pit area. Some feeds show people in white and orange clothing. Partially visible audience figures sit in the dark background. Orange-lit oil lamps glow at the left edge. The scene is a monitoring station for a satsang or ritual event, with no clearly identifiable individual in the foreground.
