Desay Madu Jhya

Desay Maru Jhyā (Nepali: देशय् मरू झ्या) is a traditional wooden window in Kathmandu, which is celebrated for its uniqueness.

Desay Maru Jhyā is a specimen of the woodcarving heritage of the Newar people of Nepal which goes back more than a thousand years.

The intricate carvings mostly depict religious motifs, ritual objects, mythical beasts and birds.

The unique window is set into a house at Naradevi, a street to the north of Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal palace complex.

The street forms part of the ceremonial circuit in the historic section of Kathmandu through which chariot processions and festival parades pass.
