Orchha - "The Sleeping Beauty".

Orchha fut une importante capitale entre le seizième et le dix-huitième siècle. Parée de palais et de temples somptueux, elle tomba dans l’oubli lorsque les rajas s’en furent construire leur capitale ailleurs. Les empereurs moghols aimaient à venir chasser le tigre dans la jungle qui cernait la ville.

Orchha was an important capital between the sixteenth and eighteenth century. Adorned with sumptuous palaces and temples, It fell into oblivion when rajas went off to build their capital elsewhere. The Mughal emperors liked to go hunting the tiger in the jungle surrounding the city.

All those layers in the early morning mood are making a very fine picture, Danad.
