[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Orchha (or Urchha) is a town in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh state, India. The town was the seat of an eponymous former princely state of central India, in the Bundelkhand region. Orchha lies on the Betwa River, not far from Jhansi.

Today Orchha is almost a nondescript town with a small population, and its importance is maintained only due to its rich architectural heritage and tourism.

The colour of the picture is due to the smog (winter season) and the sunset. I hope you like it.

Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Victor. I really like this. The tones are rich and look like an oil painting. Great job.
