Orchha
- a small town in Madhya Pradesh - is a peaceful place "far from the madding crowd". You will not have to dodge traffic or constantly resist the outstretched hands of beggars and the insistence of shopkeepers. A visit to this ancient capital of Bundelkhand, with its 16th and 17th century palaces and temples situated on the banks of the Betwa river, will give you a glimpse of a bygone era - the "India of the Maharajas" - and, at the same time, provide insights into the challenges that young people, farmers and workers face in India today.
