Orchha's grandeur has been captured in stone, frozen in time; A rich legacy to the ages. For, on this medieval city, the hand of time has rested lightly and the palaces and temples built by its Bundela rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries retain much of their pristine perfection.
Orchha was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chieftain Rudra Pratap, who chose this stretch of land along the Betwa river as an ideal site for his capital. The most notable of the succeeding rulers was Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo, who built the exquisite Jehangir Mahal, A tiered palace crowned by graceful chhatries.
