Chattries, Orchha
Orchha is an abandoned 17th century city located about 16km from Jhansi. It can be visited easily while going to and from Khajuraho. Orchha was the capital of the Bundela kingdom in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was eventually abandoned in 1783 after being attacked by the Mughals and the Marathas. What is left are ancient palaces and temples untouched by time. Orchha means hidden.
