Orchha (or Urchha) is a town in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh state, India. The town was established by rajput ruler Rudra Pratap Singh some time after 1501, as the seat of an eponymous former princely state of covering parts of central & north India, in the Bundelkhand region. Orchha lies on the Betwa River, 80 km from Tikamgarh & 15 km from Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh.

A marvelous architectural building. It has beautiful paintings on walls inside. It is a great historic place to visit.

The Raja Mahal (King's Palace), where the kings and the queens had resided till it was abandoned in 1783.
It was built in the early part of 16th century. Its exterior is simple, but the interior of the palace are royal in their design, decorated with murals of social and religious themes of gods, mythical animals, and people.
The interior walls of the Mahal have murals of Lord Vishnu.

The orcha fort is situated crossing the bridge. Inside you need to buy a ticket costing rs 50 for Indians which is applicable for all the historical places situated nearby. The fort is well maintained and is still under construction and development. Raja Mahal is a beautiful ancient Mahal which has beautiful paintings carved on the walls.
The hand painted walls are the beauty of the palace.

Raja Mahal is situated inside Orchha Fort complex which has three Mahals inside - Jahangir Mahal, Raja Mahal and Sheesh Mahal which is turned to a hotel. The entry fee to Orchha Fort includes both Jahangir Mahal and Raja Mahal. What fascinated me were the paintings called widely as Mural paintings or Fresco. The restoration work has preserved the paintings. Must visit

An hour walk would be enough for this palace. Pay attention to interesting wall paintings, balconies, and hidden stairs.

This mahal is as beautiful as Jahangir mahal which is very beautifully constructed and crafted.
You can see the colourful paintings inside the mahal, the verandah of this mahal is very big.
Worth visiting Orchha fort and complex.
