A black stone statue of Dakshinamurthi, a seated form of Shiva as teacher, sits on a red-painted rocky pedestal under an ornate white arched frame with an orange cloth backdrop. The figure has four arms, a crescent-like crown-band with a red bindi on the forehead, a rudraksha necklace and a dark wrap, with red and white garlands draped across it. A small black plaque below reads Dakshinamurthi shrine, with a brass bell and oil lamp set on a granite step in front. Trees surround the shrine in a bright outdoor setting.
