A golden statue of a smiling figure in a turban and draped shawl stands in the foreground, one hand raised in blessing, while white flowers and petals are poured over it. Behind it a dark black stone linga or sacred form receives an abhishekam, with milk-like offerings and petals spilling down its sides and into a stone basin. A red-robed figure stands partially visible at the left edge. Warm red lighting fills the shrine. The caption reads Guru Peyarchi, Adi Kailasa Nithyananda Sarvanjna Peetham and Dakshinamurthy Abhishekam Sacred bath. The statue is a golden image, not a physical person, so no living person is counted.

The statue stands on a stone pedestal before an orange and yellow draped backdrop decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands.
