<P> The main sanctum has nine seated deities . The center one is Shiva, and with him are others including Vishnu, Indra, Ganesa, Kartikiya and Durga . The shrines around the central shrine feature five Devis in one case, while other shrines reverentially enshrine Vishnu, Lakshmi, Ganesha, Kartikeya, Surya, Indra and Saraswati . The avatars of Vishnu such as the Varaha and the Narasimha are presented in the niches . In the ruins have been found large sculptures of Varuna, Agni and others Vedic deities . The temple also includes fusion or syncretic ideas revered in Hinduism, such as Ardhanarishvara (half Parvati, half Shiva), Harihara (half Vishnu, half Shiva) and a three faced trinity that shows Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in one sculpture . The temple also has secular images from the common life of people, of couples in courtship and various levels of intimacy (mithuna), people making music and dancing, apsaras and ornamental scrollwork . </P> <P> The surviving structures in the Masrur temple lacks any image of Lakulisa, the founder of Pashupata Shaivism, which makes it unlikely that this temple was associated with that tradition . According to Meister, the wide range of Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakti and Saura (Surya, sun god) themes displayed within the Masrur temple suggest that it was built by those who cherish ecumenism or henotheism, of the style commonly found in Pancharatra literature of Hinduism . </P> <P> According to Hargreaves, when he visited the temple for the first time in 1913, the temple complex had a dharmashala (pilgrim's resthouse), a kitchen and there was a priest for whom there was a small integrated living quarters . The temple work was priest's part - time work, while his main source of livelihood was from maintaining cattle and working in farms . </P> <P> The Masrur temple and the 8th - century Prasat Ak Yum temple found in Siam Reap, Cambodia have parallels, in that both are temple mountains with a symmetric design . </P>
