Pujari Math, a Hindu monastery, stands next to the Dattatraya Temple in Bhaktapur. It is used as a residence by the pujaris and priests of the Dattratraya Temple. In the courtyard inside the math stands a simple image of Lord Shiva. It is believed that this Shiva image was produced in veneration to the Pashupata cult, a sect worshipping Lord Shiva, which has spread since the Licchavi period. In accordance with the reoccurring nature of building of maths, Pujari Math is composed of many buildings added to the core quadrangle at different times. The buildings constructed later have different designs and sizes forming clusters of houses in relation to the fashion of the time in which it they were built. These houses do not have any metalwork or paintings that are traditionally included in Newari architecture; however, there are many well crafted woodcarvings displayed inside and outside the Pujari Math.

The monastery complex is decorated with different wooden windows, pillars, and frames. The wooden peacock window in the Eastern face of the monastery has become an icon for Nepali artistic talent. The inner border of this square window frame is lined with small images of birds. Some carvings of flowers and branches fill the space between the border and the central circle. The peacock itself is protruding from the center of the window and its tail feathers are distinctly carved. There are other similar windows such as this with birds and carvings on the faces of buildings. Another renowned window is the lotus window on the North face of the building. It is a latticed window with a lotus carved at the center. Besides these windows, there are other traditional windows known as tikijhyas and sajhyas. Tikijhyas, better described as latticed windows, are present on the second and ground floor. These tikijhyas cannot be opened but the holes let light in from outside, however, mask the dark interior rooms from viewers outside the window whereas the sajhyas are present in upper floors, and can be opened inwards. The sajhyas protrude from the walls of the houses, and in the interior there is a bench fixed below the window for people to sit while looking outside. These windows came as significant contributions from the Malla period and have influenced modern day art forms readily seen in traditional art workshops to souvenir stores. The Pujari Math Woodcarving Museum exhibits carved wooden statues and sculptures that date back to the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. Some prominent examples of these works are Dancing Ganesh, Mar Bijaya, Radha Krishna, and Dancing Goddesses. The pillars and frames are also extensively decorated revealing the value of woodwork in Nepal.
