The mūlādhara,¹ is also called ādhāra, gudādhra, gudasthāna, bhumaṇḍalā, mūlacakra, and is described as located in the gudadwāra, ‘the door of the anus.’ Moreover it is attached to the mouth of the suṣumṇā thus being the lower doorway of the brahmarandra, or suṣumṇā. This ādhāra is the principal seat of the apāna. It consists of a lotus with four petals, red in colour, upon which are the golden letters वं, शं, षं, सं (v, ś, ṣ and s, with their bindus), which are objects for meditation.
