Our Story

For more than thirty years, our workshop has carried Bhaktapur’s wood-carving tradition out of the temples and into homes around the world.

Every window, frame, and door is shaped by hand by our team of women artisans. It is the same Newari craft that adorns the Nyatapola Temple, scaled to live alongside you.
