This palace was supposed to be built for a one night visit of Jahangir. It was a very strange story to be told, but no doubt it's a wonderful example of architecture and so beautifully built that one can just keep wandering inside. Those turquoise blue tiles, cupola, and narrow galleries, everything has a class and is very integrated. Orchha is a heaven for travellers.

a palace for a one night visit of Jahangir - what a story, isn't it
and the palace is really impressive, combining the Muslim geometry with the Hindu elements
it worth to go up, to have the best perspectives, to the inner courtyard, to the surroundings, to the other palaces near by
I would come back there

Ironically, the story goes that the Bundela Rajput ruler of Orchha built this magnificent structure in 1605 as a lodge for Jahangir, son of Akbar, but that he only stayed here for 1 night . . .
The place is grand and in fairly good condition. It is especially worth looking at the earlier main gate, which has intricate decorations and is flanked by balconies and carved elephants. The views from there over the gardens and stables are good.
The palace has some rooms with very nicely painted walls and ceilings ; better viewed with a knowledgeable guide for explanations.

Beautiful architecture and stories, you can easily spend about an hour here. The place is almost a maze and the stairs are pretty steep. The Govt guides here are great story tellers, so are absolutely worth a shot!

The Bundela Kings who were vassals of the Mughals built this palace for Jehangir's stay but he never came.

This was my third time that I was visting orccha. jhangir mahel is such a beauty to live in. I would have mot known about it until one of the mahel staff agreed to show us the living space above the restaurent. Omre is his name. With such a good smile and warm gesture he said, “ma’am you can see the king suite if you wish to, I can escort you.’’ I was very frequent to the mahel’s restaurent and every time I wished to see the living space above.
Omre really showed the space so beautiful mesmerized rooms above the restaurent. I told my husband to book it for our anniversary. Omre even explained us how they preserved the old antique items which are so gorgeous and adds to the beauty of the king suite.
Omre really made our day. Thank you so much for such a beautiful and generous gesture and we will surely book the entire rooms above the restaurent for an event next year 😃🧡.

Huge Palace built Raja Veer Singh Deo is a mix of Bundela, Mughal and Rajput Architecture. It Offers a fantastic view of Orchha , Betwa river and Nearby Sanctuary. Palace is having quite a few stairs and it may be hectic for senior travelers or Kids.
This was used by queen to have a daily darshan in Chaturbhuj temple as well.
Orchha is Gem of a place to explore and a must visit for history lovers.

Definitely a highlight of the trip, if you can get past the noise and names cruelly scratched onto the walls. Wish we took better care of our heritage!
