The figure wears a tall conical crown, a red bindi on the forehead, a broad necklace and belt, and a long dhoti. Two of its hands hold a drum and a trident-like staff, while another hand displays a gesture and the fourth holds a ritual object. A bull stands beside the figure, and two wilted rose petals lie at its base. This is a statue, not a living person.2016-12-13A close view of a dark black stone statue of Dakshinamurthi, the four-armed deity murti of Shiva as teacher, seen from the chest up against green leaves and hanging aerial roots of a tree.

One upper hand holds a serpent-entwined object and another holds a flame; the lower hands are in mudra gestures. Water droplets dot the polished stone.
