A photograph of a busy book and literature sales counter indoors, with a white slatted wall and a colourful painting in the background. A man in a pink shirt and dark trousers stands at the centre of the table, with several people around it. Many men wear white kurtas, one with an orange-red shawl over his shoulder, and a young woman in white with a yellow sash stands at the left. Stacks of books, magazines and pamphlets cover the table, and people are handling them, paying with cash and browsing, while a few hold mobile phones.

A man in a pale pink shirt stands behind the table near the center, and a woman in a white sari with a yellow border works at the table. A wall of white tiles and a colourful framed picture are visible in the background. The scene resembles a person ashram sales counter during a workshop.

A photograph inside a white tented hall at an event with a blue-trimmed canopy and ceiling fans. At a long white-draped table stacked with books and CDs, a woman in a white sari with an orange border and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace hands over cash to a man in white on the left. Nearby, a bespectacled man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style garment with a lanyard badge browses a CD, and an older woman in white with glasses stands at the table. Many other people in white clothes move through the crowd behind them, and a red carpet runs along the right edge. No candidate for the named teacher is visibly identifiable, so the a person field is unsure.

A busy book and literature stall at the Kalpataru Convention in Mysore, Karnataka, under a covered colonnade with white pillars. Many attendees in white clothing crowd the long table, flipping through booklets and handling printed materials, while a young woman in a white sari with a plait stands at right. A man in a grey kurta holds a pamphlet at centre, and a woman in a pink top browses. Stacks of brochures, paperback books with a saffron-robed portrait cover, and an orange rudraksha mala lie on the table. Red plastic chairs sit at the right edge.

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.
