A group walks through a long barrel-vaulted hall lined with wooden bookshelves stocked with books, DVDs and printed materials, with glass cabinets and a yellow-walled alcove at the far end. In the foreground, a man in white ritual clothing and a shaved head walks at the left, followed by several men in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas, one with long swept-back hair and a gold-toned necklace. Other devotees in orange and brown clothing follow along the aisle, and figures in white stand near the right-hand shelves. Small decorative items such as brass elephants and figurines sit on a lower shelf at the left.

A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands in a library-like room lined with bookshelves full of books and boxes. He wears a saffron-orange robe over a red garment and reads an open glossy book held in both hands. Behind him is a desk with a computer monitor and keyboard, a small framed picture, and a stack of books. A red chair is in the foreground.

A photo taken inside a shop lined with CD and DVD cases displayed on red-trimmed racks against a white cinder-block wall. A standing man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap and a long mala of dark rudraksha beads, reaches out with his right hand toward the cases while looking at them. The covers show portraits of smiling people in turbans and saffron-toned clothing. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala are visible cues, and he is shown in person browsing the displays.

A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks down a narrow hall with a curved corrugated metal roof and yellow walls, past tall wooden bookshelves stocked with orange-covered books. A bald man in white dhoti and shawl walks at the front on the left. Beside him, a long-haired man in orange robes wears a dark rudraksha mala and bare arms, and another man in orange wears a heavy gold necklace. A bearded man in a green robe and a white-clad figure stand among the group. Pendant lamps hang from the ceiling and a framed picture hangs on the back wall.

On the right, a man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi on his forehead, a saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala stands facing left. In the foreground on the left, a bare-chested man with short curly hair and a dark beaded necklace, wearing a white sacred thread, stands with his back to the camera looking at the shelves. Framed photographs are displayed on shelves at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-robed man with long hair and rudraksha mala.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair and a smile stands in the centre, appearing to browse among the crowd of visitors in white shirts and dark trousers. Around him, men in white and checked shirts crowd the aisle, one holding up a magazine in the foreground. Fluorescent tube lights and a box on the ceiling light the hall.
