Guardians of the Portal

This 360° view from the Laxmi Narayan Temple entrance captures the richly carved balconies adorned with guardian deities, flanking a central arched passageway that leads deeper into the sanctum. The interplay of shadow and sunlight enhances the regal cream tones of the architecture, while the precision of Bundela craftsmanship in the double-storey niches adds sacred depth. The photo transports the viewer to the convergence of royal artistry and spiritual symbolism at one of Orchha’s most iconic landmarks.
