I recently had the privilege of visiting Orchha Fort, and I can't express how mesmerizing this historical gem truly is. As I stepped into this centuries-old complex, it felt like I had been transported to a different era. Orchha Fort is a true treasure trove of history and culture. It's a place where the past comes alive, and you can't help but be enchanted by its charm. This visit was a journey that deepened my appreciation for India's rich heritage. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an enriching and unforgettable experience. Visit during the early morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and a quieter atmosphere.Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the vast complex.Take your time to soak in the details; every nook and cranny has a story to tell.

Truly loved the place. Orchha is definitely a hidden beauty. The architecture is so so breathtaking and city is very very beautiful. The fort looks even more beautiful at night with all the lights. They also have a light show in the evening which are available in 2 languages- english and hindi. Must visit place if you are a fan of Indian Architecture. #incredibleindia #mptourism

Orchha is believed to have been established in 16th century by Maharaja Rudra Pratap Singh and after undergoing many changes it got its glory during the reign of Raja Madhukar Shah who constructed his palace in the fort complex, named as Raja Mahal in early 17th century. He was a deeply religious person and the palace constructed by him is decorated with beautiful murals showing the stories of Indian gods and their stories. How these 500 year old intricately designed murals painted in different colors are still intact is a great surprise and testimony to those ancient artists who were expert in the science of beautiful colors used. In fact the Orchha fort complex has no signs of fort but a conglomerate of many palaces constructed within a 2km area with Betwa river on one side. Beside Raja Mahal is the more popular Jahangir Mahal, that was constructed by the next king. It got its name as such because next Orchha king Bir Singh had made it for the stay of Moghul Emperor, Jahangir but he never stayed there. Jahangir Mahal does not have any murals or paintings and its construction design is a mix of Hindu/Mogul architect. It is a five story structure and gives a view of Orchha town, cenotaphs, Laxmi Narayana Palace and many other structures. A Light and Sound program is also arranged here on every evening in Hindi and English languages and is very interesting as it narrates the story of Moghul Emperor Akbar's interest in the beautiful queen/poetess of Raja Indermani and sending her back impressed by her poetic reply to Akbar. The program also highlights the valour stories of famous warriors, Chartrasal brothers etc. and court manipulations.

A quiet less known place to explore. The structures are unique and show of craftsmanship. The carvings for windows in stone makes this place look majestic.

User profile pictureABHISHEK CHOUDHARY

It was a 40 minutes drive from jhansi and the beauty was unexpected. Words won't do any justice. Not a big tourist spot yet among us Indians but international tourists there were way more than indians. It should be on everyone go-to list. Such an important Historic Hindu place it is
