Places to See in Orchha :
A historic town on the Betwa River in central India. The town, surrounded by thick jungle that long made it impregnable, was founded in 1531 and served until 1783 as the capital of the former Orchha princely state. In the early 17th century it was systematically devastated by the forces of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan following the rebellion of the Bundela chief Jujhar Singh. An island in the Betwa, approached by a causeway, contains a large 17th-century fort and palace. Other buildings of historic interest are several temples and a palace of Jahangir, an excellent example of Muslim domestic architecture. There are also several cenotaphs of the Orchha rulers.
Raja Mahal :
The Palace was constructed by Madhukar Shah who succeded Bir Singh Deo. It is one among the oldest historical monuments in the fort arena, The Raja Mahal or the King's Palace is famous for its chhatris or cenotaphs and the exquisite murals on the interiors. The Palace has a private room for the king, a room for the special guests,who use to receive special favours from the king, and rooms made for the harem. The Mahal depicts pictures from religious scriptures.
The Laxminarayan Temple :
The temple sits on a hill north west to the village Orchha. The temple contains the most exquisite paintings of the 17th and 19th century, but still, even today the colours appear as vibrant and fresh as at the time of making.There are scenes from the Battle of Jhansi as well as an illustration of the life of lord Krishna.
Jahangir Mahal :
Considered as the best piece of architecture in Orchha, the Jahangir Mahal reminds the friendship between the Mughals and the Bundelas for a long time. The entrance gate of the palace has two bowed elephants on each side accentuating the Islamic architectural style which is the hallmark of the palace. It also gives a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape from the multi -storeyed balconies.
Chatturbhuj Temple :
One of the city's greatest attraction is the Chatturbhuj Temple, which is situated right opposite the Raja Mahal. Dedicated to the four-armed deity, Chatturbhuj (which literally means four-arms), the temple has plenty of light and space inside, a feature unusual for a Hindu temple. Maharani Ganesh Kunwar, wife of Orchha's ruler, Raja Madhukar, constructed the temple to specially house the idol of Lord Rama .The Temple has a huge cross-shaped congregation hall that caters to devotees of the Krishna-bhakti cult, who throng the complex. Conical shikharas (spires) crown the sanctuary of the spacious Chatturbhuj Temple.
The Phool Bagh Garden :
The walled Phool Bagh gardens, a cool summer retreat beside the Palki Mahal, stand memorial to Dinman Hardol son of Bir Singh Deo who died to prove his innocence to his elder brother Jhujhar. Also worth seeing are the impressive chhatris (cenotaphs) to Orchha's rulers.
