Orchha - World heritage city
Orchha is another historic town in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is on the banks of the river Betwa and was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chief, Rudra Pratap!
The ancient town seems frozen in time, with its many monuments continuing to retain their original grandeur even to this day. Here you will find some of the most fascinating temples and palaces that will help you realise a childhood fantasy - travelling back in time!
Orchha is the only place in India where God Ram is worshipped both as God and a King in Ram raja temple!
The Laxminarayan temple exhibits a unique architectural style, which is a mix of a fort and a temple!
The famed chhatris of Orchha are cenotaphs that were constructed in honour of its erstwhile rulers!
Last week UNESCO declared The Orchha City as the World Heritage City!
