Just next to the Lun dhwaka (Golden Gate) stands the palace of Nyanyapa jhya (fifty- five Windows). Golden gate is the entrance to fifty five windows. As the name suggest, the palace was constructed with fifty five carved windows. The carved windows of the second floor are considered the finest examples of woodcarving produced during the reign of the prodigious king. Above each of the windows are wooden torana depicting gods and goddesses. This palace, which is being completely renovated by the Department of Archaeology and the Bhaktapur municipality, is one of the main parts of the palace complex. Although there was a palace on this site as long ago as 1427A.D. it was remodeled by king Jitamitra and his son Bhupatindra Malla in the late 17^th century.  The palace once sprawled far beyond here, but the 1934 earthquake has left only an enormous empty plaza to the east, littered with the bases of Giant temples. The series of intricately carved wooden carving windows on the second floor is the specialties of the structure the whole of these windows have been pulled in by more than two feet present level during reconstruction after the earthquake of 1934 A.D.
