Interior of a book stall with shelves stacked with copies of booklets and books showing a portrait of a smiling man in a yellow-gold turban, dark jacket and white shawl, with a red bindi. The large framed portrait hangs on a navy blue backdrop beneath a garland of orange marigolds and white and red flowers. A printed caption in Tamil reads 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda' (பரமஹம்ஸ நித்யானந்தர்). Two brass oil lamps stand on the altar table below, with a small offering of flowers. Two more portrait covers on the shelves repeat the same image.
