A photo inside a bookstore with tall wooden shelves packed with colourful spiritual and Hindu books, including titles on Shakti and goddesses. A man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over a saffron garment and a beaded garland of gold-coloured ornaments, stands at the shelves holding an open book. A small shelf to the right displays bronze and brass deity figurines and ritual objects. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair and saffron ornate clothing with a ceremonial garland, standing and browsing books in a Hindu bookstore setting.
