A golden statue of a seated sage, Dakshinamurthy form, sits at the centre of a temple shrine, shown in a night photograph. The figure wears a maroon turban and a maroon cloth over the shoulders, with a large jewelled necklace of blue and red stones and pearls and a jewelled waist belt. Yellow and white garlands of marigold-type flowers drape the statue, and red and pink petals lie around the base. Behind the statue, a red hanging cloth and carved stone pillars frame the shrine, and gold-painted rocks surround the seat. A caption at the bottom reads Dakshinamurthy Abhishekam and the location Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adhi Kailasa.
