    Pujari Math is the oldest of a dozen Hindu priest dwelling places in Bhaktapur on Tachapal Tol. It is known for its wooden peacock window. The building was built in the 15th century by the Hindu mendicant monk Gosain Gurubhaksha Giri in India under the reign of Jayayakshya Malla. In 1763 it was renewed.
    The building was badly damaged in the 1934 earthquake. The restoration of the Pujari Math was made possible through a grant from the Federal Republic of Germany on the occasion of the wedding of His Majesty the King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah in February 1971. The work was completed in June 1972.
    Today, Pujari Math is a ‘Woodcarving Museum,’ harbouring some of the finest works in wood around the Kathmandu Valley.
