Introducing Orchha

Entered by a gate crowned with a red Ganesh, Orchha’s name (Hidden Place) is singularly appropriate. Temples, palaces and chhatris fight their way out of the encroaching jungle, their spires and domes overshadowing a few ramshackle streets. At sunset, vultures peer down from the temple tops at the Hindu faithful drifting in to chant incantations to Lord Rama, who they believe lives and breathes in Ram Raja Temple.
