The Kuraiya Bir temple is an 8th-century three-storey Hindu temple in the village of Kuchdon, near the ancient town of Deogarh in Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh. The temple has an unusual lalatabimba. It is neither one of the major deities nor Gajalakshmi. It is damaged, but what remains it could be a flying gana or Garuda. This site was destroyed and abandoned in some point of its history. Reclaimed in the 18th-century, it was re-dedicated to Shiva. The complex has a step well and other ruins of a Hindu matha (monastery).
The Kuraiya Bir temple has a pancharatha square plan, notable for its multi-storey latina shikhara superstructure. The temple compound has many ruins and foundations of lost structures.
