Arriving in Orchha the previous night, here’s the first of two photo sets on the pictureseque and sleepy town of Orchha in Madhya Pradesh state.
Some of the highlights were:
- Appreciating the magnificence of Jahangir Mahal palace which was only used by the Emperor once before he passed away and it was never used again
- Meeting the local women who worked at the paper making factory set up to give them worthwhile employment
- Wandering through the town where I got to play chess with some locals and saw life on the nearby Betwa river
- Visiting a nearby farmhouse where I was entertained by the kids as well as the folk music before finishing off with enjoying a deliciously home-cooked meal outdoors
