A photograph of a crowded long table at an indoor event hall where many men queue and browse printed materials, with stacks of colourful booklets, magazines and framed prints laid out in plastic sleeves. In the foreground a man in a blue and yellow striped shirt with an event lanyard reaches toward the table, while men in white kurtas and shirts stand along the table, one in a white dhoti-style outfit with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace. A man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers stands at the right edge, and a dark pillar and white tiled wall form the background. A dark-haired man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers stands at the right edge. No visible a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance.

A busy book and DVD sales stall under an orange-painted covered walkway. Shelves on the left are stacked with books and framed portraits of a saffron-robed sannyasi with long hair; the portraits are printed images, not people. A woman in a white sari with a yellow border and a rudraksha mala stands in the foreground looking toward the shelves. Beside her, a woman in a white sari holds a mobile phone. Several men in white shirts with rudraksha malas stand and bend over tables stacked with books and DVDs labelled with the Bhagavad Gita as known by Nithyananda and the word Nithyananda. A man in a brown t-shirt with a beaded mala stands at the far right edge, looking down at the tables. The scene reads as a devotee bookstall at an ashram event.

A large indoor hall with a concrete floor and a long white-draped table of bead malas, rudraksha strands and small items laid out for sale. Several women in white and cream saris sit or stand behind the table, handling the goods, while men in white shirts and dhotis move around the room and at the back. A framed portrait sits among the merchandise on the table. Banners with decorative red, green and blue patterns and printed posters line the back wall, and a pillar with carved decoration stands at the right edge.

A crowded indoor book fair stall with overhead fluorescent lights and shelves of books and DVDs on the right. A man in an orange saffron robe stands at a white-clothed table signing or handing items to visitors, with a bare-shouldered devotee's dress nearby. Behind him a man in white with an orange shawl holds a camera. Framed photographs and posters hang on the left, including a gilt-framed image of a smiling man in orange beside a rock-like backdrop. Many visitors in white, yellow and blue shirts, saris and salwar kameez crowd the aisle in the foreground. The orange-robed figure's visible cues are saffron robe and close-cropped hair; identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a long table stacked with DVDs, booklets and glossy posters, many showing a figure in saffron or orange robes. A man in a rust-orange sannyasi wrap stands at the table, head bowed, looking down at the merchandise. Behind him, people in white traditional clothes with orange-bordered cloths stand in a line beside a rope barrier, and a child in a white headband is visible at the lower edge. A plastic chair and a yellow bag sit at the upper left. The room is dimly lit with a pale floor.

A book display table covered with stacks of paperback books whose covers show a smiling person with dark hair and a red bindi, wearing orange clothing and a beaded necklace. Several copies are fanned out or laid flat in rows, with a few standing upright. Behind the table, blurred people in white clothing with orange-and-gold borders and lanyards stand near the display. Copies of the same book are stacked on the left. The covers carry Tamil title text and a small red sticker reading 2,50,000 copies.

Photograph of a crowded book fair stall lined with books and CDs on shelves. A woman in an orange sari sits behind a white-covered table stacked with books and speaks with a man in white shirt and dhoti-style white clothing wearing a beaded mala. Visitors in white shirts and a woman in a red-and-blue patterned salwar stand at the counter. In the foreground two large framed portraits show a seated figure in orange robes with long hair, a white beaded necklace and raised hand, set against a tree-root backdrop. Banners on the walls read in Tamil and English, and a poster reads Infinite Now with a portrait of a woman in orange.
