Pujari Math is one of the nine former priests' houses in Tachupal Tole and 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. It has magnificent wood carvings on the east front and also in the courtyard, and is noted for 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.
