3. Window and Door
The Geykar is a rectangular window embedded in the wall (photo 3.2a) with or without cornices and Horzing but with Zangshing. Generally Geykar openings are narrow and tall, divided into two or more layers. The Horzing if used is placed in the division.
Plain Geykar (without comices and Horzing) is pemltted only on store and toilets.
Geykar with Bogh, Pedma and Dhung is permitted for habitable rooms where architectural richness is to be achieved. In such cases Geykar is used on the lowest floor of the building.
Gaykar openings should be narrower than Payab windows and will not have Jugshing. In place of Jugshing, Barthem is used.
