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.
