Orchha



Orchha means the hidden place. I think the name is really appropriate. It is a small (but agitated) village, with a very colorful market and with a significant number of palaces and temples for its size.

This picture shows two temples on the outskirt of the village. These are two temples of a set of four exact copies disposed in a square. The place was almost desert apart from a couple of tourists and the gentleman on the picture which was fighting to keep the grass from becoming a jungle (Orchha is in the middle of a dense forest).
