EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty and historical significance of the Royal Chattris, or cenotaphs, located at Kanchana Ghat on the banks of the River Betwa in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India. The 14 intricately carved stone tombs serve as commemorative structures for former rulers of this ancient city. The Chattris, dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, are a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The tranquil waters of the River Betwa reflect the grandeur of the Chattris, adding to their ethereal beauty. The rocks surrounding the cenotaphs are adorned with intricate carvings and designs, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The Chattris, with their unique architectural style, stand proudly against the backdrop of the lush greenery, creating a scene that transports one to a bygone era. Ralph Ponsonby Watts, the photographer, captures the essence of this historical site in this timeless image, taken in the 1940s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the lives of the rulers who once called Orchha their home and the history that unfolded on the banks of the River Betwa. The Royal Chattris continue to be a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for historians, artists, and travelers alike, reminding us of the enduring legacy of India's rich past.
