A devotee in a white shirt and white trousers kneels outdoors before a golden Dakshinamurthy murti seated under a silver-framed arch, with a red-orange cloth draped over its head and shoulders. The statue is garlanded with white, yellow and purple flower strings and wears a pearl necklace and rudraksha-style beads. In front, a brass plate holds bananas, coconut pieces and a small cup, and a heap of white cloth-wrapped offerings sits on the pedestal beneath a black plaque. Red-painted stones surround the base, and trees and a few people in saris stand in the background.
