The murti wears a yellow cloth wrapped around the body and a yellow headcloth, with rudraksha beads on the chest. Garlands of marigolds and magenta flowers hang over its shoulders and arms. Its four arms hold ritual objects, and it is seated on a small carved base with a bench below. The statue stands on a raised mound painted red-orange with a black-and-white dotted border, surrounded by trees. A plaque at the base reads Dakshinamurthi shrine in English and Kannada.
