Orchha's History.

History of orchha 


Orchha is a historic town located in the Tikamgarh district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The town was founded by the Bundela Rajput ruler, Rudra Pratap Singh, in the early 16th century.


Orchha was the capital of the Bundela Rajput kingdom for over three centuries, from the early 16th century to the late 18th century. The town was strategically located on the banks of the Betwa River, which provided a natural defense against invasions.


Under the rule of the Bundela Rajputs, Orchha developed into a center of art, culture, and architecture. The rulers of Orchha were patrons of the arts and built many magnificent temples, palaces, and other structures. Some of the most notable structures in Orchha include the Jehangir Mahal, the Raj Mahal, the Rai Praveen Mahal, and the Chaturbhuj Temple.


Orchha was also known for its military prowess, and the Bundela Rajputs played an important role in many battles and wars. They formed alliances with the Mughals, the Marathas, and other regional powers to maintain their independence and control over their territories.


In the late 18th century, Orchha was conquered by the Maratha Empire, and the Bundela Rajputs were forced to submit to Maratha rule. In the 19th century, the British took control of the region, and Orchha became part of the British Raj.


Today, Orchha is a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can explore the town's many historic structures and enjoy the natural beauty of the Betwa River and the surrounding countryside.
