- Description:
- Seen here is another face of the sarvatobhadra (open from all sides), which features a depiction of a Ganesha icon. The four-handed image is depicted in a sitting posture, although the specific attributes of the icon are difficult to identify. The niche containing the Ganesha icon is topped by a pyramidal shikhara (superstructure). The Ganesha icon is characterized by long elongated ears, and the trunk curls up to rest on a bijapuraka (citron fruit).

- Description:
- The hero stone slabs feature depictions of human figures in the upper half, while the lower half shows faint traces of inscriptions. Though illegible, closer examination suggests the inscription were likely written in the Devnagari script. The content of the inscription remains unknown, but typically inscriptions on hero stones detail of the deceased and the time of the craving. Palaeographically, the script can tentatively be placed within a broad timeframe from 12th to 15th centuries CE. However, due to the deteriorated condition of the stone slabs, no definitive conclusions can be drawn.

- In the second small panel in the hero stone, positioned just below the row depicting the hero, stand two female figures with folded hands in namaskar mudra (salutation gesture).

- Description:
- A closer view of the shikhara (superstructure) of the sarvatobhadra (open from all sides) reveals it's stylized like a phamsana (pyramidal) shikhara. It consists of three mouldings that decrease in size, with a gavaksha (false window) on the frontal side of these mouldings. The mouldings are capped by a disc at the centre. The shikhara gives the sarvatobhadra the appearance of a miniature shrine.

- Description:
- Seen here what appears to be a sculptural fragment among the row of hero stones. This speculation is drawn from faint traces of a human figure visible on the stone fragment. Given that the collection includes not only hero stones but also other pieces, it is plausible that a broken sculpture is venerated as a hero stone. Unlike other Hero stones, this fragment has a low pedestal.

- Description:
- Seen here is a broken piece of a hero stone, once part of the temple’s architectural structure. Despite its fragmented state, it is now worshipped among the veeron ke pathar (stones of the heroic people). In its current aniconic form, this fragment receives the same reverence and rituals as the other fragments kept alongside.

- Description:
- Typically, the front side of the Hero stones depicts a hero riding on horseback, accompanied by a female figure standing in front of him with her hands folded in namaskar mudra (salutation gesture). The size of this depiction might vary on each stone, but they maintain stylistic similarity. Sometimes, these figures include inscriptions that provide details such as the person honoured by the hero stones and crucially, the date of its creation. The dates from legible inscriptions on the Hero stones are from 1500 VS onwards, placing them in the 15th-16th centuries CE.

- Description:
- Seen here is an example of a hero stone without an inscription, showcasing a slightly different style. The niche inside which the hero is depicted is a low relief niche with an arch design. The drapery of the hero and the celestial damsel accompanying him is uniquely rendered. The hero is depicted wearing a distinctive headgear resembling those worn in the Rajasthan region. In the corner of the niche, there is a sun motif, possibly symbolizing that the hero’s valour will endure eternally.
