The matha (monastery) and Bhuteshvara temple of Kadwaya was the primary site of several Hindu monasteries of the Mattamayura tradition. It is named after the saint Kadambaguhadivasin attributed to be the founder of this tradition, which literally means "drunken peacocks". The earliest dated epigraphical evidence that has survived is found at the Ranod Hindu monastery. It mentions Purandara of this tradition, and his role at the monasteries at Kadwaya and Ranod. This matha was captured by the forces of Alaud-Din Khalji who demolished temples and structures here and built a mosque from the temple parts. Later, warrior monks involved in wars with the Mughals demolished the mosque inside this Hindu monastery.
The monastery in Kadwaha was built about 9th century. It is two-storey, with many rooms and a shared open corridor. The Bhuteshwar temple – sometimes called the Gadhi temple – stands next to the matha and is dedicated to Shiva. It has a pancharatha plan and consists of a mandapa and garbhagrha. The notable artwork include those for Shiva, Vishnu, and Shakti traditions. These include Saraswati, Chamunda, Parvati, Saptamatrikas, Varaha, Narasimha, and Dasavataras. On the walls are many secular scenes of daily lives such as a standing mother holding a baby.
