About Orchha Literature Festival

First Ever Literature Festival In
the city of Ram Raja, ORCHHA

The city of Ram Raja, a historic and religious center in Madhya Pradesh, Orchha, will host the first-ever literary extravaganza for writers and readers of all ages. The show’s panel discussions and symposia on literature, biographies, stories, technology-driven books, academics, cinema, engaging poems, fiction, and other topics typically not included in traditional literary festivals promise here to be popular and interesting. The three days festival in its debut release will be tied in with facilitating a festival that tends to the social necessities and goals of individuals from Bundelkhand, a generally quiet piece of the country.

This beautiful city was founded by Bundela chief Rudra Pratap Singhwho was also the first king in the 16th century. A silent city yet it is very famous for its temple and architecture. It is also known as the city of Lord Rama, and here, other than Ayodhya, Rama is worshipped as King of Orchha. The present time also Lord Rama is regarded as the only King and a guard of honour is given everyday by the Police at Ram Raja Temple.
