A large tilted slab of layered rock forms the roof of a small whitewashed shrine with red-and-white trim. A red-and-white flag flies from the top of the rock. Painted on the rock face in blue is the Hindi name 'व्यास पार्थ' (Vyas Parth). A red-and-white sign board below carries Sanskrit verses in red and white paint. In the lower left corner a person in a bright orange cap is partly visible at the edge of the frame, and a few other figures are visible in the lower left and near the shrine. Mountain slopes with green patches and mist fill the background.
