At a distance of 1.5 km from Orchha Fort, Royal Chhatris or Cenotaphs are the historical monuments situated on the banks of River Betwa in Orchha. These are one of the popular Orchha tourist places and also one of the must visit places in Orchha. There are fifteen chattris grouped along the Kanchan Ghat of the River Betwa on the south end of Orchha town. These chattris were constructed as a mark of respect for the imperial blue blood of the mighty rulers of Bundelkhand dynasty. These monuments still speak of the ancient rulers, their victories and their stories. The complex includes the Chhatris of Madhukar Shah, Bir Singh Deo, Jaswant Singh, Udait Singh, Pahar Singh & others. A remnant of the glorious rules of the Bundela dynasty, Chhatris with its magical charm allures people through centuries. These chattris are basically the tombs of Maharajas that have been placed on elevated platforms and supported by pillars. Built in Indo-Mughal style, these three storey buildings are open to all sides and have nicely designed domes or pinnacles. Cenotaph of Bir Singh Deo is the most popular of all because of its unique architecture and beautiful design. The domes of the cenotaphs are painted marvelously, which gives it an enchanting look. The magnificence of the Chhatris can be best viewed from the narrow bridge, where one can see the full reflection of the amazing structure on the cool river water.

The chhatris were built to commemorate the deceased Bundela rulers, and to provide them with a place of eternal rest. They were also a way for the Bundela rulers to demonstrate their power and wealth. The chhatris are a significant example of Mughal architecture, and they are a reminder of the rich history of the Orchha regio The first chhatri was built in 1562, for Raja Rudra Pratap, the founder of Orchha. The chhatris were built in a variety of styles, including Hindu, Jain, and Muslim. They are typically made of red sandstone and white marble, and are decorated with intricate carvings and paintings. The most famous chhatri is that of Bir Singh Deo, who ruled Orchha from 1605 to 1627. His chhatri is a massive structure, with three stories and a pyramidal roof. It is decorated with intricate carvings, including images of gods and goddesses, animals, and flowers.

The Orchha Chhatris are a stunning group of royal cenotaphs located on the banks of the Betwa River in Madhya Pradesh. Built in honor of the Bundela kings, these grand structures reflect a blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture, with intricately carved domes and elevated platforms.

The monument is one if the many sites to visit in Orchha. The site is next to the river where boating facilities are available, it was closed during our visit. Best is to stay near the Raja Ram temple as it is easy to get transportation if you don't have your own car.
