This exceptional three-storeyed courtyard marks the southern edge of the Darbar at the main crossroads of Patan. Originally constructed as a two-storeyed courtyard building in 1628, Sundari Chowk has since undergone a series of interventions, retaining stylistic features from various time periods. In the 1730s, the building received an additional floor, distinctive triple-bayed windows, and a screened gallery overlooking the courtyard. The eastern façade, reconstructed after the east wing collapsed in 1934, contrasts starkly with the rest of the building for its lack of ornament and use of ordinary brick.
