Orchha

Where the whispers of medieval history can be heard

While driving alongside the Betwa river in the state of Madhya Pradesh, if one happens to remark upon a town with an extraordinary skyline of domed temples adorned with a thin spire at the top, you’ve probably come across Orchha. Often a stopover, between busier towns, Orchha deserves a place of its own in the list of tourist destinations, for its medieval history and architecture, its beautiful temples and unusual cenotaphs.
