Ram Raja Temple at Orchha
The Ram Raja Temple at Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India. 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. Of the succeeding rulers, the most notable was Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo who built the exquisite Jehangir Mahal, a tiered palace crowned by graceful chhatris. The Ram Raja Temple is a remarkable edifice of soaring spires and palatial architecture. Photograph by Ralph Ponsonby Watts
