An outdoor shrine in a garden setting features a black stone statue of Dakshinamurthy, a form of Shiva as teacher, seated on a rock-like base. The statue wears a white cloth wrap over the shoulders and waist, a gold-coloured mala necklace, and armbands, and holds ritual objects in its multiple hands. It stands within an ornate silver arch against a green gold-patterned cloth backdrop, with red-painted stone at its base. Two small brass oil lamps sit on the pedestal in front of a plaque, and trees and dry ground surround the shrine. No physical people are visible.
