A black stone statue of a multi-armed deity form, draped in orange cloth with an orange head covering and a long rudraksha mala, sits on a dark pedestal inside an ornate silver arch set among trees. Its hands hold a drum and other objects, and a small brass oil lamp rests on a red-painted base in front. A plaque reads Dakshinamurthi shrine, and a yantra is drawn on the stone step before the statue. The statue is a deity murti, not a person, so no living people are present.
