Trivia: Stamped Moments

The central Indian circuit of Khajuraho- Orchha- Jhansi is absolutely amazing for history/heritage lovers. One can start the trip either from Jhansi or Orchha; both the towns are well connected by train routes; Khajuraho has a small airport too. Let’s start at Khajuraho. Orchha is about 175 kms from Khajuraho, and Jhansi is just 15 kms away from Orchha. In this article, I am briefly sharing a plan to visit the circuit; however, for a more elaborate article, please see our main blog:  https://stampedmoments.com/grandeur-of-the-khajuraho-orchha-jhansi-circuit/ Khajuraho: Khajuraho used to be a religious hub of the Chandelas during the 9 th century and 12 th century CE.  They had built about 85 great temples in an area of 20 square kms.
