A painted relief of Dakshinamurti, the seated teacher form of Shiva, under a blue wall and a banyan tree canopy with red fruits. The central pink figure has four arms, holds a drum and a flame, and wears rudraksha malas and gold necklaces. Four bearded sages in orange dhoti-style cloths sit in front with hands folded in anjali, before a red Kannada inscription reading Sri Dakshinamurti. These are statues and painted figures, not physical people.
