Cit

A scenic place where man's architecture and nature's artistry are in perfect symphony, Orchha was founded by Maharaja Rudra Pratap Singh in 1501. The Orchha fort was constructed at the same time. The Rama Raja Temple and Jahangir Mahal here are of major tourist interest, with delicately sculpted balconies and cenotaphs(chhatris). The majestic fort provides panoramic views of the green environs of Madhya Pradesh, leaving one spell bound. The beauty of this place is made even more exquisite when the seasonal Betwa river flows through here, and the fort area disintegrates into beautiful islands.

Betwa River


Betwa River, Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India One of the famous attractions in town, Betwa River is an ideal spot for a fun-filled picnic outing with your family and friends. Just across the Betwa and Jamuni rivers, a half hour’s drive east of Orchha, is a stretch of reserve forest with a monoculture of khadai trees. The former royal hunting lodge also lies in the reserve forest, beside a lake. It has been abandoned, but makes for a nice picnic spot — though it is not advisable to visit the area after dark. You can also picnic on the rocky banks of the pretty Jamuni River.

Jahangir Mahal

and was named after the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.There are several other structures around the mahal, including a fort, a palace, cenotaphs in the town, and another palace referred to as the Collector’s Office, which has been turned into a state museum.The palace is an impressive structure. Heavy yet light, climbing three storeys high with apartments topped with domes and hanging balconies, it’s a fetching mix of Indo-Islamic architecture. Note the two elephants gracing its eastern entrance and the crouching male sculptures on the canopied kiosks gracing the roof. The last, according to some, represent images of the architects or their patron gods.
