Bhaktapur - Pujari Math Museum

As part of the Bhaktapur Development Project, Pujari Math, one of the nine former priests' houses in Tachupal Tole, was restored in the early 1970s to its appearance at the time of King Vishva Malla. It was presented to King Birendra as a wedding gift. Note in particular the magnificent wood- carvings on the east front and also in the courtyard, especially the delightful peacock window. The craftsmanship is considered the finest in the Kathmandu Valley. Pujari Math has been turned into a museum of wood-carving with a small but priceless collection of free-standing sculptures and architectural carvings.

The old house opposite also contains a museum, with a display of ritual and domestic metalware.
