नेपाल की छोटी खिड़कियों की पंक्ति—पारंपरिक नेवारी (नेपाली) भवनों में छोटी दिखावटी अथवा क्रियाशील खिड़कियों की पंक्ति उनका सर्वाधिक सुसज्जित अंग होती हैं।
मंदिरों अथवा अन्य वास्तुकलात्मक भवनों में इन खिड़कियों को प्रत्येक दिशा में ऊपरी स्तर पर भवन के मध्य में बनाया जाता था।
खिड़की की चौखटों को जोड़ने में धातु की कीलों अथवा चिपकाने वाले पदार्थ का प्रयोग न कर लकड़ी की पिनों का प्रयोग किया जाता था।
ये खिड़कियां विभिन्न आकारों में बनाई जाती थीं जैसे गोलाकार, महराबदार, आदि।
पशुख्य झया मठों में बनाई जानी वाली खिड़की है जिसके तीन से पांच (अधिकतर असामान्य संख्या में) साधारण द्वार होते हैं।
बीच का द्वार साधारणतः अधिक सुसज्जित होता है। अन्य दरवाजों पर एक ही शटर होता है।
