A must visit place in central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. A city which oozes history from all its pores. A city so small that it can be entirely covered on foot very easily giving the feeling that time stands still over here. Another amazing part of Orchha is that you can stay within the main fort complex. The feeling you get staying inside the historical ruins is precisely as VISA describes in its advertisement’s – Priceless.
Sound and light show at Raja Mahal is one of the best you will watch. The show is excellent and has an amazing amalgamation of light and sound. Magnificently recounts the various Bundela stories like Rama Raja temple, Rai Praveen, friendship between Bir Singh and Jahangir, betryal of Hardaul by Jujhar, heroic story of Aurganzeb’s daughter, King chhatrasal’s exploits etc.
Lots and Lots of historical monuments makes it a paradise for history lovers and photographers. Apart from the main attractions, the real sense of Orchha magnificence will hit you once you walk in the Orchha ruins. This is one place where you can see a magnificent ruined city rather than just the forts. Do make the extra effort to take leisurely strolls in the Orchha ruins.
And of course once you are in Orchha don’t miss the amazing street chaat.
