The Masrur temples are a group of rock-cut monolithic Hindu temples with a pushkarini in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. They are an exceptional illustration of the sophisticated temple design and architecture that had developed in India by the 8th-century.

Near Beas river, Indian craftsmen then began carving a grand temple complex out of a sandstone ridge. Facing northeast towards the Dhauladhar range and the Himalayas, the Masrur group include shrines and artwork for all major Hindu traditions – Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism and Sauraism.

The Masrur temple group was never finished. Further, earthquake likely caused cracks in the excavated and carved structure. The design embodies the metaphor of a temple as a mountain — a common theme in Indian architecture. Yet, it preserves the ancient ideas found in pre-8th century Hindu temples in a manner similar to Ellora in Maharashtra and rock cut Hindu temples found in Tamil Nadu. Similar ideas are found in the great "temple-mountains" of Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia from 9th to 11th century.
