A photograph of a merchandise stall with orange-draped shelves. Two people in the foreground examine rudraksha malas: a man in a white shirt holds a mala up at left, and a woman in a dark top with gold bangles handles another at right, with a child's head visible at the bottom. Framed portraits on the top shelf show a figure in orange robes and a red turban wearing a rudraksha mala, with a label reading "Paramahamsa Nithyananda"; the portrait itself is printed, not a physical person. Other items include a 2010 desk calendar, prayer beads, small books and framed prints.
