Orchha is a medieval town founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput dynasty. Its skyline is dominated by the Chaturbhuj Temple, the Jahangir Mahal palace, and the iconic cenotaphs of its rulers along the Betwa River. Visitors can explore the intricately carved Raj Mahal, the Ram Raja Temple (the only temple where Rama is worshipped as a king), and the serene riverside ghats. The town's blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture, set on an island, makes it a captivating destination for history and architecture enthusiasts.
