Rakashog Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is about manipulating light beams with rotatable mirrors. You must light your way through the shrine by hitting the orange crystals.
While not that difficult, the Rakashog shrine is definitely the most innovative shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Collecting its treasure chest is a major puzzle that can make you scratch your head.

You will be able to notice the Rakashog Shrine from a distance. Make your descent near it and interact with its gate (-1718, -2118, 1149) to unlock a fast-travel point.
Rakashog Shrine Walkthrough
The puzzle presented by the Rakashog Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is known as A Reflective Device. The objective of his trial is to direct light beams using small mirrors to hit orange target crystals.
1. From the main entrance, go straight and look down the platform to locate a small mirror. Pick it up with Ultrahand and use it to reflect light onto an orange crystal. It will turn green, and the door to the next room will open.
2. In the next room, pick up another mirror from the left and pass it through a hole in the gate.
3. Don’t let go of the mirror. Take it into the light beam in the center of the room and turn it right to reflect the light on an orange crystal.
4. Place the mirror inside the light beam facing the now-opened gate. This is extremely important (refer to the picture above). This mirror will reflect the light onto another mirror in the next room.
5. Pick up the mirror in the next room and take it forward towards a slope. You will notice an orange mirror lying on the floor.
6. Rotate the mirror downward to reflect light on the orange crystal. It will turn green, and the lift will be activated. It will take you to the upper floor.
7. In the next area, rotate the mirror forward and attach it to a metal block.
8. Pick up the block with mirror and take it through a small alley to the left where the construct soldiers are.
9. Rotate the block such that the mirror now faces the alley from where you came in. Place the block in the light beam.
10. Defeat the enemies and turn back. Pick up another mirror from near the locked door.
11. Rotate the mirror such that it faces forward and place it in the light beam to reflect the light on the orange crystal.
12. This will open the door to the treasure chest. Collect a Large Zonai Charge from the treasure chest.
13. Pick up the mirror and go back into the room with the metal block. Remove the metal block from the light source and place the mirror on the floor so that it faces the top left corner of the area (see picture for reference above).
14. Use another mirror and rotate it in a way that it faces the top right corner. This will reflect the light onto the orange crystal.
15. This will open the final door leading to the altar room. Interact with Rauru and Sonia’s statues to complete the puzzle and earn a Light of Blessing as a reward.
