A framed printed portrait labelled "மதுரை ஆதீனம்" (Madurai Aadheenam) stands against a blue door. It shows a seated figure in orange-red robes with a white flower garland, rudraksha beads and a red forehead mark, seated on a gold-patterned throne before a green backdrop, with a red-and-gold cushion. In front of him are ritual objects: a white cup, a small white crystal-like cube and a yantra-like vessel on a red cloth. The caption below in Tamil identifies the figure as the 41st guru of the Aadheenam. No physical people are present; the seated figure is a printed portrait.
