A photograph of a black stone statue of a seated-standing sage-like deity murti, draped in red cloth with a red headcloth, framed by a silver arched prabhavali and wreathed with marigold, pink and yellow garlands. Two people in saffron-orange robes kneel with their backs to the camera at the lower left, one with a head wrap and one with long dark hair, both wearing flower garlands, hands folded in worship. A small brass kalasha with a garland stands on a red rock base in front of a plaque reading Dakshinamurthy Shrine, with an oil lamp and flowers. Trees and dry earth surround the shrine outdoors.
