Behind and to the right of the Dattatraya temple stands the sumptuous eighteenth-century Pujari Math , one of a dozen priests' quarters ( math) that once ringed Tachapal Tol. Similar to Buddhist bahal, these math typically sheltered communities of Hindu devotees loyal to a single leader or sect. Like bahal, most have now also been converted to other, secular uses. Given the nature of the caste system, it's not surprising that the grandest houses in the city traditionally belonged to priests. The Pujari Math's awesome windows can be seen on two sides; the often-imitated Peacock Window , overlooking a narrow lane on the building's far (east) side, has for two centuries been acclaimed as the zenith of Nepalese window-lattice carving.
