Orchha’s Whispering Arches

This intimate black-and-white photograph captures a finely carved window and arched niche within the Laxmi Narayan Temple in Orchha. Framed in deep shadow, the soft light falling across the architectural detail reveals the graceful curves of scalloped arches and the delicate symmetry of miniature columns. The contrast between light and darkness highlights the timeless artistry of Bundela craftsmanship, evoking a quiet, sacred elegance hidden within the temple’s inner sanctum.
