Rating holy/religious places is not required & I strongly believe that. In our country most of the Hindu Temples are in same category apart from donation perspective. The cleanliness & management are mostly the concern & the pilgrims who don’t follow basis requirements. Now coming back to this temple it’s unique as per the history and story. Specially the 7 PM /19:00 aarti in which security forces do the salutation and then temple opens. It’s one the main attraction of Orchha.

Ram raja temple were God Ram worshiped as rulel of ochha city.

A person shoud visit the place at least once the place is holy and great amulgamation of Culture, History and art.
