One of these is probably dedicated to Krishna. The uttaranga is carved with Venugopala amidst herd of cows.
The main doorframe is beautifully adorned with jali windows, pillar motifs, GajaLakshmi on lalata and a canopy. The dvara of the Garbhagriham is also equally ornate.

The third one, located in between the two temples, is the smallest of all.
The dvara of the temple is carved similar to that of the adjacent temple except for the miniature superstructure models of shikara over the canopy of the door frame.
