A dark stone statue of a deity seated in a shrine niche framed by an ornate silver arch, with a yellow and gold draped backdrop and garlands of red and yellow flowers. The murti wears a saffron-coloured headcloth, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, holds a small drum and a staff, and rests a foot on a small figure at its base. Offerings of marigold petals lie around the pedestal, a small oil lamp sits on the lower plinth, and red and orange pigment covers the stone base. Trees frame the outdoor shrine. A plaque below reads Dakshinamurthi Shrine in Kannada and English.
