Orchha's grandeur has been captured in stone,
frozen in time, a rich legacy to the ages. In this medieval city,
the hand of time has rested lightly and the palaces and temples
built by its Bundela rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries retain
much of their pristine perfection.
Orchha was founded in the 16th century by the
Bundela Rajput chieftain, Rudra Pratap, who chose this stretch of
land along the Betwa river as an ideal site for his capital. Of the
succeeding rulers, the most notable was Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo who
built the exquisite Jehangir Mahal, a tiered palace crowned by
graceful chhatris. From here the view of soaring temple spires and
cenotaphs is spectacular.
Complementing the noble proportions of their
exteriors are interiors which represent the finest flowering of the
Bundela school of painting. In the Laxminarayan Temple and Raj
Mahal, vibrant murals encompassing a variety of religious and
secular themes, bring the walls and ceilings to rich life.
