What are Nepali Window Frames?

Nepali window frames are more than just architectural elements — they are symbols of culture, heritage, and fine craftsmanship passed down through generations.

Rooted in the traditional architecture of the Kathmandu Valley, these intricate wooden frames are commonly found in the ancient homes, palaces, and temples of Nepal. Made entirely by hand, each frame is a masterpiece of Newar woodcarving, featuring detailed floral motifs, deities, and sacred geometry.

At Everest Artisan, we honor this legacy by transforming traditional Nepali window frames into beautiful home décor pieces. These frames — often called Jhyāl (झ्याल in Nepali) — are designed not just to decorate your walls, but to tell a story of artistry, mindfulness, and connection to history.

What Makes Nepali Window Frames Unique?

• Hand-Carved Craftsmanship: Every piece is chiseled by skilled artisans using traditional tools — no CNC machines, just pure talent.

• Sustainable Sourcing: We use ethically harvested wood and natural finishes, honoring the eco-conscious roots of Nepali culture.

• Symbolic Motifs: Expect symbols like the lotus, peacock, or Makar (mythical creature), each with deep cultural meaning.

• Functional Art: Our frames can be opened and closed like the original architectural pieces, making them a standout in any space.

Why Add One to Your Home?

A Nepali window frame instantly adds warmth, depth, and heritage to your space. Whether you hang it as a statement piece or use it to frame a mirror or shelf, it brings a sense of calm and soul — a window not just into a room, but into a story.
