This temple on the edge of Arampur is dedicated to Shiv but contains the images of other gods and goddesses. It stands next to a reservoir where residents do many important rituals as well as bathe, demonstrating how some spaces are dedicated always to religious purposes and others are temporarily so.

The tomb of a shahid, or martyr, stands in the foreground of the community mosque of Arampur's Mughulpur neighnorhood. Many Muslims honor men and women of exceptional faith at their tombs while performing their everyday religious practices in their homes or mosque.
