Some of the places that one must visit in Jhansi

 Jhansi has a very poignant place in Indian history and many people wish to visit the land of the brave queen at least once in a lifetime. The mere mention of Jhansi brings up the imagery of a place with grand forts and ancient structures. And, true to that, every Jhansi tour package has the forts and castles of Jhansi as its primary attraction. And here’s more on all the places people can visit when in Jhansi.


Jhansi Museum:The Jhansi museum is apparently one of the country’s oldest and most important museums. This museum is the ‘go to’ place for history buffs as well as students of architecture as it has some very significant artefacts which date back to the 4th century and the building itself is a 19th-century architectural marvel. 

Rani Mahal: As the name suggests, this place was home to Jhansi’s brave queen Rani Lakshmibai and the place presents vivid imagery of the life of the royals that once inhabited it. It is also remembered as the very place where the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 started. Rani Mahal thus has a lot of historical significance and a visit to Jhansi would be incomplete without getting to set foot in the premises of this great building.

Jhansi Fort: Perched on top of the Bagira hill, this fort offers breathtaking views of the city of Jhansi below. This 17th-century structure was the focal point of the princely state of Jhansi and played a very important role in India’s battle against the British. Although some parts of the fort were destroyed during the first war of Independence, the remnants are definitely worth a visit. 

Cenotaph of Raja Gangadhar Rao: Built by Rani Lakshmibai in loving memory of her late husband, this cenotaph is an architectural marvel. Adding to the grandeur of the place is the lush greenery, well-manicured gardens and the pond.  People love to visit this place not only to marvel at its grandeur but also to cherish the fond memories of India’s bravest daughters. 

Barua SagarTal: Situated in the historical town of Barua Sagar, this 260-year-old lake has great historical significance. Tourists coming here can also enjoy beautiful views of the town from atop the embankment of the lake. 

Jhansi perhaps is one city where people can see and experience India’s rich past from close quarters. As such, every Jhansi tour package is also designed in a way that tourists get to know more about all that contributed to India’s rich and glorious past.
