Tikamgarh Tourism

Tikamgarh is a district in Madhya Pradesh, India. Earlier the district was known as Tihri. It was later renamed by Vikramajit, the ruler of Orchha. This district is well known for its history and culture under the state called Orchha State. This state was founded by Rudra Pratap Singh in 1501, who also built the Fort of Orchha situated in this district. The Chaturbhuj Temple and Raj Mandir were also built during the same time.

Apart from these two temples, Orchha or Tikamragh is also known as the city of temples. Many temples like Ramara Temple, Lakshmi Temple, Kundeshwar Temple (Lord Shiva Temple), Paporaji Temple (a famous Jain Temple).
