history fascinates me...

Abandoned places always create memories…you are bound to turn nostalgic once you walk into it…it’s an amazing world…you are thrilled, to touch a centuries old structure…as you move down deep into the stairs of timeline, you gradually start losing yourself…to the stories told and read to you in your childhood…and once you are soaked in completely, you start feeling those stories of kings and queens act by act, just in front of your eyes…that’s the reason history fascinates me…
I shot this picture inside one of the structures of orcha fort. The fort located in Madhya Pradesh (India) around 16 km from Jhansi (UP). Monuments of Orchha narrate stories of war and peace and of love and destruction. Situated on the banks of the river Betwa, it was the capital of the Bundelkhand region. Orchha was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput chief Rudra Pratap.
