Madhya Pradesh- A tour to Jhansi, Orcha, Sanchi, Khajuraho and Jabalpur.

Kajuraho temple- The sculptures are realistic and unbelievably erotic in nature. Unable to believe that these statues are made by Indians. Most of the sculptures depicts the life of women, warriers and saints.
Khajuraho- The rocks used to built this temple is a special mable looks like a sandalwood. Each stones are interlocked to others. Its not an usual building method employed in any part of the world.
Bhimbetka Mountains, Jabalpur- These mountains are made of white marbels worth billion dollars. There is a water near to the mountain as well.

Orcha- The city of forts. There are about 5 major forts and palaces in Orcha. This one is a palace built in 15th century.


Orcha- One can see only forts in this town.

Jhansi- It is the jhansi rani lakshmi boy palace. During 1857, british captured this palace but Jhansi escaped in that war. It was interesting to see darbar, queens palace etc.,

Sanchi Stupa- Except few stupas, nothing left in this region.
