A trip to Orchha comprises sightseeing of the ancient fort, temples and palaces. The historical monuments here are of unusual architecture. The sleepy town is home to several temples & palaces built by succeeding ‘maharajas’. Raja Ram Temple is a palace converted into a temple. It is the only temple in India where Lord Ram is worshipped as king and not as a god. Laxmi Narayan Temple, also called as Chaturbhuj Temple, is known for depiction of religious and spiritual subjects in Orchha style wall paintings with different colours. Jehangir Palace, studded with elegant canopies, was built by the then king Bir Singhji Deo to commemorate the advent of Mughal ruler Jehangir. Another attraction is Raj Mahal. Though the exterior is plain but the interior is enchantingly painted in fast colours on a variety of religious themes.
Travelling in Orchha happens to be a pleasant excursion which involves panoramic natural view, rustic lifestyle of the locals, historical monuments and lazing on the banks of the Betwa river. Mostly, the vacationers interested in leisurely exploration of cultural and historical destinations, tend to opt for Orchha holiday packages
