Appearance

No specific physical description is provided for the Daksha yajna in the source material. It is described as a ritual event rather than a supernatural entity with a physical appearance.

Abilities

The destruction of the sacrificial ceremony due to the wrath of Shiva, the immolation of Sati, and the transformation of the event into a liturgical basis for the establishment of Shakta pithas are effects of the Daksha yajna. These events do not describe inherent powers or abilities but rather significant consequences.
