Terahi is a small village in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, situated at the banks of Mahwar river and located very near to Mahua. Present Terahi has been identified with ancient Terambi, which is mentioned in the Rannod inscription. Shiava Monastery – Existence of this monastery supports the identification of Terambi with Terahi. The faith which resulted in the foundation of the Mattamayura sect had its roots in Terahi as well. This monastery is a proof that Shaiva sects were in vogue at this place during those times. The monastery is a simple structure with a large compound surrounded by rooms on all sides. However it is not in very good state of preservation at present. Shiva temple is situated near Shaiva monastery. It is in good state of preservation with its Nagara Latina style shikara intact with an amalaka on top. The temple has a mandapa and a sanctum. Vishnu riding over Garuda is present in the center of the sanctum door lintel. There is a Shivalinga places inside the sanctum however it could be a later addition.
