First encounters with realtime volumetric lighting in EEVEE

Last weekend, I have finally decided to start leraning about volumetric lighting in Eevee. Using the free models from https://www.blenderkit.com, I setup a simple scene with a statue and some foilage.

Just by adding two lights, a volume shader to a scene bounding object and enabing the volumetric options I was able to get the following results.

Without Volumetric Shadows off

Without Volumetric Shadows on

Added another light and transformed lights.
