India's Central India
Orchha
Spectacularly positioned on the dramatic terrain of a rocky island enveloped by the Betwa River, Orchha boasts not only a picturesque setting, but also an impressive collection of the crumbling palaces, pavilions, hamams, walls and gates of the Bundela kings that reigned supreme from 1531 until 1738.
The Jahangiri Mahal, the prestigious landmark of Orchha, connects to the town via a series of arches presiding over a causeway. Adding to the city’s ornate allure, find Ram Raja, the Lakshmi Narayan and the Chaturbhuj, three dominating temples that reflect the unique blend of architectural styles that make this city so intriguing.
