It has been rightly remarked that the grandeur of past has been frozen in stone at Orchha. The noble proportions of the exteriors of the buildings here compete with the opulence of the interiors & rich repositories of the Bundela paintings. The pristine perfection of the palace and the temples and cenotaphs is reflected in the gently flowing Betwa. These specimens display a great vitality and narrative skill. One sees on the weather worn walls, rhinoceros, elephants, horses, as well as domestic animals. There are scenes of domestic bliss - a woman with a child or performing household chores, and documentation of a hunt, raid during warfare. One cannot remain immune to the excitement that slowly builds up - a memorable moment in time when our ancestors were taking the leap from animal to human existence - groping cautiously to achieve social organization experimenting with community life.
