Shri Ram Raja Mandir

Raja Ram Mandir in Orchha is a unique temple where Lord Ram is worshipped as a King, complete with royal rituals and a daily guard of honor. As per legend, Queen Ganesh Kunwari brought lord Ram here from Ayodhya, and when He chose to stay, the palace itself transformed into a temple. This blend of history, mythology, and living tradition makes it one of Orchha’s most sacred landmarks — a must-visit for every traveler for its spiritual aura.

Me and my friends visited this place in September 2025. Approx 15km from jhansi bus stand. 40 to 50 rupee with auto rikshaw.

The Ram Raja Temple is a temple in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage and receives devotees in large numbers regularly and is also commonly known as Orchha Temple. The annual domestic tourist number is around 650,000 and the foreign tourist number is around 25,000. The daily number of visitors to the temple range from 1500 to 3000 and on certain important Hindu festivals like the Makar Sankranti, Vasant Panchami, Shivratri, Ram Navami, Kartik Purnima and Vivaha Panchami the number of devotees who throng to Orchha range in thousands. In India this is the only temple where God Rama is worshiped as a king and that too in a palace. A Guard of Honour is held every day, police personnel have been designated as Guards at the temple, much in the manner of a king. The food and other amenities provided to the deity at the temple are a royal repast. Armed salutation is provided to God Ram every day. In the temple Raja Ram is accompanied by Sita (on the left), brother Lakshmana (on the right), Maharaj Sugriva and Narsingh Bhagwan (on the right). Durga Maa is also present in the darbaar on the right side. Hanuman ji and Jambavan ji are praying just below Sita. The speciality of this temple is that God Ram has a sword in his right hand and a shield in the other. Shri Ram is sitting in Padmasan, with the left leg crossed over the right thigh.

Government should think about maintaining this place of cultural and historical heritage.. roads to orchha are not good.. some of the old structures are weakening..and need reconstruction..
