What you can expect

Explore the medieval city of Orchha on a guided tour. Admire the stunning architecture and intricate carvings of the town, designed with a blend of Mughal and Rajput styles. See the 300 years of Royal heritage, breathtaking temples and palaces, and the picturesque location beside the Betwa River.

Visit the Raj Mahal, a spectacular monument constructed by Madhukar Shah in the 17th century. Admire the unique design inspired by his deeply religious beliefs, characterised by bold and colourful murals around religious themes.

See the Jahangir Palace, constructed in the 17th century by Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo to welcome his friend, the Mughal emperor Jahangir. Admire the domes built according to Timurid customs and the gates large enough to allow entry of war elephants.

Visit the Rai Parveen Palace, dedicated to the famous musician and poetess who was also called the Nightingale of Orchha. Admire the three stories with a central hall being the highlight with impressive paintings and depictions of various moods of Pravin Rai.

The Ramraja Temple is the soul of Orchha. The idol of Lord Ram was supposed to be installed in the magnificent Chaturbhuj Temple. Legend has it that the idols refused to move after being installed here and so a temple was built around them.

See the Lakshminarayana Temple, exemplifying a unique blend of temple and fort architecture. Admire the well-preserved frescoes portraying an amalgamation of Mughal and Bundelkhandi art and the carvings on the inside depicting the life of Lord Krishna. The murals stand out courtesy their vibrant colours.

Visit the Chaturbhuj Temple, built to house the idols that are now inside the Ram Raja Temple. Today, it houses the image of Radha-Krishna. End the tour at the 14 cenotaphs that serve as memorials of the Kings of Orchha. The Chattris are placed on a platform and supported by pillars. The highlight of the cenotaphs are domes adorned with exquisite paintings.
