The city of Orchha is situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh in central India. The meaning of Orchha is 'hidden' and the city is located on the banks of River Betwa in Madhya Pradesh, 16 kilometers away from Jhansi, and is encircled by fascinating hills and loads of greenery. The small village of Orchha was once the capital of Bundelkhand. The historical memorials of Orchha narrate the stories of war and peace, love and devastation and still retain the unspoiled charm.
Bundela Rajput chieftain Rudra Pratap selected the land along the Betwa River as a perfect location for his capital and hence, Orchha was established in the 16th Century. One of the succeeding rulers in the city, Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo, constructed the elegant Jehangir Mahal, a tiered palace crowned by graceful Chhatries. In spite of being a derelict land, Orchha is still not forgotten. The stones of the beautiful monuments in Orchha are plastered on top and during the evenings the beauty of the city increases.
