orchha
Orchha is a place about 15kms from Jhansi in central India. 'Orchha' means hidden. Even though the oral history of Orchha dates back to 6th century BC (according to the light and sound show at the fort complex), it was hidden from outsiders due to dense forest surrounding the region. It came into prominence during 9th to 14th century A.D. In 1531, Raja Rudra Pratap Singh, the bundel khand king was looking for a safer capitol (safe from Moghul riders) and established the capitol in Orchha - an island formed by two channels of Betwa river. A photologue of Orchha.
