Product Highlights
-
Sacred Karma Wood: Crafted from high-quality Karma wood, chosen for its fine texture, durability, and natural golden-to-umber transitions. This wood is a staple in Himalayan craftsmanship due to its resistance to environmental changes.
-
Intricate Lattice Design: Features the traditional Tiki Jhya (cross-hatched) pattern, meticulously carved to create a delicate, screen-like effect.
-
Architectural Authenticity: Every element—from the tiered lintels (top) to the sill (bottom)—mirrors the classic proportions found in the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Patan and Bhaktapur.
-
100% Artisan Made: Entirely hand-chiselled by master carvers, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. No CNC or modern machinery is used, preserving the soul of the craft.
