Behti Math

• Located 3 kilometres away from the village of Behti, which in turn is 20 kilometres south-east of Chanderi, is the 5th century Behti Math temple that has escaped the attention of tourists and authorities alike. 
• However, being a well-preserved Gupta period construction, examples of which are extremely rare, its importance is undeniable. 
• Built upon a base of two mouldings, the stone temple is a square in plan with plain unadorned walls. 
• The pillars and pilasters however are elaborately carved with floral scrolls, in half medallions, vases overflowing with foliage, kirtimukhas, stylized lotuses etc. Also striking are the makara headed spouts, one of which is still in place.
