10 Must See Palaces in India
A combination of palaces on the seasonal island on the bank of Betwa River stands a huge palace fort. The fort consists of several connected buildings, the most noteworthy of which are the Raja Mahal and Jahangir Mahal. Situated in the Orchha District of Madhya Pradesh, its construction took place by the King of Orccha, Raja Rudra Pratap but he died in 1531 leaving the work of construction half-way. His son then continued with the construction. The final touches were given by later on Kings. The Jahangir Mahal was constructed in the honor of Mughal Emperor Jahangir by Orccha Emperor, Vir Singh for the emperor's one day stay!
