Baha or bahi, also known by its Sanskrit name vihara, is the typical Nepali Buddhist monastery. It is a two-storied building, square in plan with open arcades (dalan) defining a courtyard. One or more shrines (chaitya) are found in the central axis of the courtyard, between the door and the main shrine.
