Royal Cenotaphs of Orchha
In Orchha there are around fourteen cenotaphs (chhatris) of 16th century along the Kanchana Ghat of the Betwa river.
They are the tombs erected for rulers of Bundelkhand in their memory. We have already seen them in earlier posts( 1, 2). Here are some more images of these magnificent structures.

Wonderful photos. Magnificent, a masterpiece of art.
When I think of a tomb, I think of a small cave or small dwelling. Then I look at your blog and have to change my way of thinking. These are all quite incredible. I can't help but wonder, though, if they really deserved such honoraria? :-)
'Magnificent' is a very apt description of these structures. I especially like the structure in your last photo.
Such beautiful structures !
I have read your earlier posts. beautiful shots
I'm impressed by all of the shots (and the building in them), but the lighting and perspective in the top photo is stunning!
Your photos always make me gasp in awe. It is hard to imagine that these places are real. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I like the feel of the 1st shot.
Beautiful photos and my favourite is the first one.
