Image description

The Tilang Ghar, or ‘Glass House’, was built in the 19th century and was the first private residence in Kathmandu, other than the palace, to be allowed to have glazed windows. Glass is still a rare feature in this part of town, and the windows are indeed conspicuous - even though the shopkeepers occupying Tilang Ghar hang buckets and other metal wares from them. Remarkable too are the building's friezes depicting long lines of marching soldiers carrying rifles; these are said to have been inspired by similar friezes at Prithvi Narayan Shah’s fort in Nuwakot.
