The first screenshot shows a Patok shrine (candi patok), and the last two show a Kelir shrine (candi kelir). In Indonesian, “patok” means “peg,” and “kelir” means “screen.” Although these two types of shrine seem to be mostly identical in terms of appearance, the difference in naming is tied to their placement: the candi patok (peg shrines) are found in the four corners of the central complex, as though holding down a piece of fabric, whereas the candi kelir (screen shrines) are immediately proximal to the gapura, visually obscuring them.
