Brahmanical temples at Ter.—The Caityalike temples as well as other Brahmanic temples at Ter might have been built during the Kalacuri regime. Whoever be the rulers, the fact that the temples of Uttaresvara and Kalesvara are built with moulded or carved bricks indicates that these probably belong to the 5th-6th century, when similar temples were being built in Rajputana, Madhya Pradesha and Bengal. Remains of such a moulded brick temple, also called Uttareshvara, were partially excavated at Kolhapur in 1946.
