Settlement Studies - Orchha, Madhya Pradesh
S4S2
Team - Batch A21

Orchha is a fairly big town, near the City of Nirwari in Nirwari District of Madhya Pradesh. It is situated on the Betwa River, about 11 km southeast of Jhansi in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Surrounded by thick jungle that long made it impregnable, the town was founded in 1531 and served until 1783 as the capital of Orchha princely state. 

The part of settlement study made by my group and me is The Chaturbhuj Temple Area. The Chaturbhuj Temple, dedicated to Vishnu, is perpendicularly connected to the East - West axis, at 12m, of the town. The temple has a complex multi-storied structural view which is a blend of temple, fort and palace architectural features.
