Samadhi Mandir

Samadhi Mandir is a monument in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, built in memory of Hardol Singh, the son of king Vir Singh, who was killed by his jealous brothers.

It is a simple white marble structure, rectangular in shape and surrounded by lush green foliage. A small bed is placed on the raised platform. Miniature statues of a horse and a cow stand atop the Samadhi along with utensils for storing water, all in honour of the prince.

Located on the shores of river Betwa, Orchha is a city replete with the medieval history. In the forts, palaces and temples here which survive even today, one can see the glimpses of the lost glory. For a traveller with an interest in history, Orchha is a place worth visiting.
