Chaturbhuj Temple, Orchha

Chaturbhuj Temple, Orchha, Hindu temple in Orchha, India.

Chaturbhuj Temple stands in Orchha town just outside the Orchha Fort complex, south of the Rama Raja Temple, on low ground within a bend of the Betwa River. The multi-storeyed stone building rises from a 4.5-metre platform, its central tower flanked by smaller tower sections with the same curved profile. Arched openings and bands of moulding cross the lower facade, and a modern metal lattice leans against the masonry on the right.

The temple was built by the Bundela Rajputs during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar. Construction was begun by Madhukar Shah and completed by his son Vir Singh Deo in the 16th century. Madhukar Shah built it for his wife, Rani Ganeshkuwari, after she dreamt that Rama asked her to build a temple for him.

The name refers to a deity with four arms that was originally intended for worship here according to local tradition. Upon entering, the tall chambers feel more like a palace than a religious building.

Access is via 67 steep steps leading to the entrance platform, located south of Ram Raja Temple. Those visiting should allow time to explore the different levels and side chambers.

The temple's towers are said to have been covered with gold plating when built, later pilfered over the years. Its roof is accessible and gives views of the winding Betwa River, the Rama Raja Temple and the Laxmi Narayan temple in the distance.
