Orcha Fort : is situated on the island on Betwa River.
The scenic location apart, the fort has more to offer. It houses many
palaces and temples. The three most important palaces seen here are Jahangir Mahal, Raj Mahal and the famous Rai Parveen Mahal. Jahangir
Mahal reflects the architectural splendor that prevailed in Orchha in
the past. The views from the multi-storeyed balconies in the palace are
spectacular. Raj Mahal ranks amongst the most ancient historic monuments
in Orchha fort. Rai Parveen Mahal, which is in ruins now was a
beautiful palace with lush gardens surrounding it. Rai Parveen was a
poetess and a dancer. Her charm so attracted the king Indramani who
built the palace for her. Ram Raja temple, which is a very famous temple
in Orchha was earlier a palace. This palace turned temple is the only
place in which Rama is worshipped as a king and not a god .
