Peacock Window is a signature sight of Nepal. If one has to see the exquisiteness of Nepal's traditional art, a visit to Peacock Window is a must.

The Peacock Window is a very mesmerizing piece of craftsmanship. So it is also called the "Mona Lisa of Nepal'. The work piece is indeed a rare masterpiece in wood. The unique latticed window dates back to the early 15th Century. It has an intricately carved peacock in its center.

The window adorns the Pujari Math. The rows of exquisitely carved windows and doors of the math are equally appealing. The building presently houses the Woodcarving Museum. The museum has a fantastic collection of unique pieces in wood.

Most of the carved windows in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square are exquisitely crafted. But the Peacock Window walks away with the cake. It is definitely the most elaborate. It is a second-floor window to an ordinary building, tucked away down a narrow alley off Durbar Square.

Right across the alley from the Window is a master woodcarver's shop. The wood carver specializes in replicas and variations on the window. The woodcarver has a second floor window opposite the Peacock Window. One can take clear pictures of the Peacock Window from there.

Once in Bhaktapur, one can walk ones way to the dusty lane which houses the Peacock window. The window is not far from the famous Durbar Square of Bhaktapur.
