Ram raja temples

• Resembling a palace, this is the only temple in India where Lord Rama is worshipped as a king. 
• The grand peach-tinted building with domes, was once the palace of queen Ganesh Kumari, the wife of king Madhukar Shah, the ruler of Orchha. 
• It was known as Rani Mahal then.
• The queen was a devotee of Lord Rama and wanted his idol to be installed in her palace. 
• With a desire to bring the deity back in the form of a boy, the queen went on a pilgrimage to Ayodhya, said to be the birthplace of the lord. 
• It is believed that Lord Rama was pleased with her prayers, and agreed to come to Orchha with her on one condition. 
• According to beliefs, he said that he would not move from one temple to another and would always remain in the place where she would initially house the idol. 
• Thus, the palace was later turned into a temple of the lord.
