hi Yodeepak,
The basic definition of a phrase is a group of words that plays a particular grammatical role in a sentence. And these phrases can be of different types. Noun phrase, prepositional phrase etc. Now, IMO all the above sentences are phrases.
Any other opinions any please ?
Hope this helps.

The acid test of a clause is the working verb in it. Any verb that is just part of a prepositional accompaniment or participial phrase does not make a clause. As such
A). with murals that are brilliantly colored.-------‘That are brilliantlty colored; is an accompaniment of the preposition ‘with’ and thus is a part of the prepositional phrase.
B). their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography.------ ‘Embellished’ is a past participle and not a full - fledged verb and hence a phrase.
C). their styles vary among women and houses.---- Vary is a working verb – Therefore this is a clause.
