Outdoors under a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots, a black stone Dakshinamurti murti stands on a rough stone base. The murti is draped in a red-orange cloth and has a cobra-like hood carved above it, with pink flowers placed at its base and on the stone. Dappled sunlight falls on a dirt ground with trees and a fence in the background.
