The Terahi monastery and associated Hindu temples are found together in the Terahi village in Shivpuri distrist of north Madhya Pradesh. This monastery – a Shaiva matha – is mentioned as Terambhi monastery in the inscription stone of the historic Rannod Hindu monastery. The temples, monastery and water tank was built by Shiva-tradition monks between 9th and 11th-centuries.
The monastery is a two storey building built from huge cut blocks of stones and cut large slabs. It has an open court, surrounded by corridors with many rooms. Stone steps lead to the second floor. The monks also built a drinking water storage on the northeast side of the monastery, and a drainage management system so that the building does not flood during the monsoons. Some Hindu artwork is included in the monastery. More profuse artwork is found in the temples (most in ruins).
This site likely had at least five Hindu temples. Only one temple survives in a mutilated form, and it stands near the monastery. This is now a Shiva temple, but the lalatabimba has Vishnu. Outside walls includes artwork from all major Hindu traditions (Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti and Saura).
Terahi is one of the group of sites with major Hindu monasteries and temples from the 7th to 11th-centuries in north Madhya Pradesh. Other major historic monastery-college sites near Terahi include Mahuā, Indor, Sakarra, Ranod, Surwāyā, Baktar, Kadwaha, Budhi Chanderi, and Thubon.
