A large dark stone statue of Dakshinamurthi, the seated form of Shiva as teacher, shown under a canopy of green banyan leaves. The four-armed deity sits in lotus-style cross-legged pose on a carved rock base decorated with animal and figure reliefs, holding a drum and a flame-like object in the upper hands, with the mudra hand raised in front. The face is serene and smiling, and the figure wears a broad ornamented collar and armlets. No people are present.
