A framed green-and-gold signboard mounted on a wall shows two painted or printed portraits of bearded holy men with long matted hair. The left portrait depicts a bare-chested, seated figure in meditation posture on a white cushion, with a faint halo behind his head. The right portrait shows a long-haired, bearded man with a dark shawl. Printed text on the board labels the left portrait as "Brama Maharishi Mamunivar Isakki Sither" and the right as "Pancha Muga Davathiru Mani Sadhu", with a banner reading "Pancha Muga Dharishna Dhyana Peedam, Tiruvannamalai 606 602". No physical people are present; the figures are depicted only in print.

A framed printed board mounted on a wall, showing two side-by-side portrait paintings on a green background with gold border. On the left, a bearded, bare-chested sage with white beard sits cross-legged in meditation with hands in lap, haloed by a yellow glow. On the right, a long-haired, bearded figure with dreadlocks gazes forward against a warm yellow backdrop. Printed headings and footer text name the two figures and a dhyana peedam at Tiruvannamalai. Visible human figures are only printed depictions, so no physical people are present.

A framed printed poster-style image with a sepia photograph of a seated ascetic figure on a stone seat before a rocky mountain backdrop. The figure sits cross-legged, bare-chested, with a white beard and hair, and a pale glow surrounds the head. Two white pillar-like candles with red flower or cloth decorations flank the figure, and red and white markings decorate the picture. Tamil headings appear at the top and on the left and right, and a caption in English is printed across the bottom. The image is a vintage print of a saint, not a live gathering.

A framed printed poster hangs on a plain white wall, decorated with dried flower garland at its top. The central image shows a bearded, bare-chested sage with a topknot and hoop earrings, seated in meditation on a cushion against green trees and a golden halo, with a yellow-orange dhoti. Surrounding small panels show numerous seated and standing sages in orange, white and blue garments, some with ash marks, some with a cow, and Tamil captions below each panel and beneath the central figure. The image is a photograph of a wall poster; no physical people are present.

Rare archival collection

A photograph of two framed portrait prints pinned to a white board, decorated with small red and pink flowers. The left print is a black-and-white photo of a thin, bare-chested elderly man in a white cloth sitting cross-legged on a mat before shrubbery. The right print is a colour photo of an older man with white hair and beard, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti, seated cross-legged on a dark floor before a carved wooden door. Printed captions above the portraits read "ANNAMALAI SWAMIGAL" and "SRI RAGUPATHY". The portraits are depictions, not physical people present, and no candidate for the a person appearance is shown.
