      ab: This article explores the Hindu notion of darśan as it plays out in the worship and religious home decoration of Hindu immigrants from India living in the United States. It is also about transnational networks--maintained through physical travel and the Internet--that make it possible for Hindus to decorate their houses in a certain way, either by downloading religious posters through the Internet or through the transportation of objects between the country of origin, India, and the country of residence, the United States. Finally, this article is concerned with the immigrants' visa status and argues that "permanent" and "temporary" residency of the immigrants must be taken into consideration when discussing the types of transnational lives experienced by Hindu immigrants in the United States, which directly impacts the way they decorate their homes.
