Namaste,

Welcome to HDF.We have a lot of information here about India and Hinduism and members will help you if you have any queries.

It seems like the first statue is of a male dwarapalaka or a door keeper/guard.I can not identify the second one.

Vannakam coc ... Welcome to HDF. The first one definitely looks like a temple guardian, but I'm not at ll sure about the second one.
