A black stone murti of Dakshinamurthi, the seated form of Shiva as teacher, sits within a silver-framed arched niche backed by green fabric with gold dots. The figure wears a red cloth over the shoulders and waist, a red head wrap, layered beaded and gold necklaces, and a garland of red and yellow flowers. Four hands hold a drum, a flame or sacred implement, and a mudra gesture, and a small figure lies beneath its raised foot. A plaque reading Dakshinamurthi shrine in English and Kannada sits on the pedestal, with a brass oil lamp at the base and red-painted rock around the platform. No people are present.
