A black stone statue of Dakshinamurthi, a form of Shiva as the seated teacher, stands in an outdoor shrine under a tree canopy. The murti has multiple arms holding ritual objects, wears an orange cloth and an orange headwrap, and is draped with garlands of yellow and purple-red flowers. The statue stands on a dark pedestal within a silver-coloured arch carved with floral and figural motifs, and the base is painted bright orange-red with a small kalasha-like form on top. A black plaque reads Dakshinamurthi shrine, and at the foot a stone slab bears a white-outlined Om symbol strewn with petals. No people are visible.
