A man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead stands in a bookstore, reaching toward a wall display of hanging bells, beaded strands and wooden ornaments. Beside him, a woman with shoulder-length dark hair in a brown top looks on. Behind them, wooden shelves hold many books, including titles on Islam and world religions, and a framed portrait sits on a shelf at left. The swami appears a person by the saffron clothing, long hair and forehead marking, though the bookstore setting is ordinary and identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
