Nepalese temple struts, known as tunala or vigraha, are considered fine works of art and are often made by highly skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques. They are an important part of the cultural heritage of Nepal and can be found in many different styles and designs throughout the country. These struts are found in traditional Nepalese architecture, particularly in religious structures such as temples and shrines, ornately carved and often painted, serving both structural and symbolic purposes.

Structurally, the struts help support the roof of the temple or shrine, which is made of heavy timber or stone. The struts are typically placed at regular intervals along the eaves of the roof, and their weight helps to counterbalance the weight of the roof, making the structure more stable.

Symbolically, the struts are often carved with intricate designs and figures from Nepalese mythology, and are believed to have religious significance. They are thought to represent various deities or supernatural beings, and are intended to offer protection and blessings to the structure and its occupants.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related wood temple strut depicting a yakshi, 128 cm high, dated to the 13th century, formerly in the Art Gallery New South Wales, accession number 33.2000.a-b, recently repatriated to Nepal in May 2003 and currently on display at the Patan Museum. Compare a related wood temple strut depicting Varaha, 74.5 cm high, dated to the 15th century, previously in the James W. and Marilynn Alsdorf Collection and now in the Art Institute of Chicago, reference number 1984.1495. See a comparable set of temple struts dated to the 15th century, still in place at Gunakar monastery in Jyatha Tol, Chhusyabaha, Kathmandu, Nepal.
