Raja Mahal

Standing adjacent to Jahangir Mahal, is the much older Raj Mahal with an east-facing entrance. It is said to have been built by Raja Madhukar Shah (1554- 1592) the father of Bir Singh Deo. Though Percy Brown dates it to 1575, many believe that its construction was begun by Raja Rudra Pratap Singh (1501- 1530) and the structure taken to its lofty heights by his son and successor Raja Bharti Chand (1531-1554). On the top floor, you can see the remains of exquisite mirror work on the walls when sunlight falls on its they produced a combined  ffect of lighting in the entire chamber. Reflecting the mixture of Rajput & Mughals architecture the Raja mahal houses 2 audience halls the Darbar e khas & the Darbar e aamwith striking work of stone jali.

This palace, once the royal residence of Orchha's kings, features stunning wall paintings and frescoes that depict religious and courtly scenes. The architecture is a blend of Rajput and Mughal styles.
