Raja Mahal, nestled in the historic town of Orchha in the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, is a testament to the grandeur of the Bundela architectural style. The palace was established in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput ruler, Rudra Pratap Singh. It served as the primary residence of the Orchha royal family. The Mahal is renowned for its intricate murals and frescoes that adorn its walls and ceilings, depicting various mythological and religious themes. Its towering domes and multi-tiered structures present a mesmerizing skyline. Inside, the palace splits into multiple courtyards, with grand chambers connected by narrow staircases. The intricately carved pillars and the exquisite 'jali' work add to the Mahal's beauty, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship of that era. The Raja Mahal not only offers visitors a glimpse into Indiaâ€™s rich past but is also a location of serenity and panoramic views, set on the banks of the Betwa River.
