About Orchha

Orchha is a medieval town on the banks of the Betwa River, known for its stunning complex of palaces, temples, and cenotaphs (chhatris) built by the Bundela rulers. The town has a tranquil, rustic charm, and its architecture is a beautiful blend of Rajput and Mughal styles. The Orchha Fort complex houses magnificent palaces like the Jehangir Mahal and Raj Mahal, with beautiful murals. The grand cenotaphs along the riverbank create a spectacular silhouette, especially at sunrise and sunset. Orchha offers a less crowded and more peaceful historical experience.
