Orchha: The Sacred City of Ram Raja
The Ayodhya of Bundelkhand
Nestled on the banks of the Betwa River, Orchha is one of India’s unique spiritual destinations where Lord Ram is worshipped as a king at the famous Ram Raja Temple.
The town transforms into a vibrant center of devotion during the Vivah Panchami Mahotsav, attracting pilgrims, devotees and tourists from across the country.
The Tradition of Vivah Panchami
Celebrating the Divine Wedding
Vivah Panchami marks the celestial marriage ceremony of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita, symbolizing purity, devotion and eternal love. The festival recreates the joyous wedding traditions associated with the Ramayana and keeps alive the spiritual heritage of Indian culture.
One of the most special aspects of the celebration is that Shri Ram Raja Sarkar departs as a groom during the ceremonial procession, creating an atmosphere filled with devotion and festivity.
