Raj Mahal Orchha

For those visiting the Orchha area of India and taking in the many sights and wonders that it has to offer, there is none greater than the Raj Mahal. One of several palaces in close proximity to one another in Orchha, the Raj Mahal is a unique fusion of Hindu and Islamic architecture that intrigues and baffles historians even to this day. The façade is deceptively simple with tiny ornate carvings, but not much else except for a liberal use of the domes that would become a famous part of Indian architecture.
