The Betwa

The quaint little town of Orchha that is famed for its architectural marvels and tourist attractions basks prettily on the banks of the Betwa River. The nondescript Madhya Pradesh town literally means 'hidden' and rests in the Bundelkhand region along the Betwa River.

The Betwa or Betravati is a river in Northern India, and a tributary of the Yamuna. It rises in the Vindhya Range just north of Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh and flows north-east through Madhya Pradesh and Orchha to Uttar Pradesh. Nearly half of its course, which is not navigable, runs over the Malwa Plateau. The confluence of the Betwa and the Yamuna rivers is Hamirpur town in Uttar Pradesh, in the vicinity of Orchha.

The Indian navy named one of its frigates INS Betwa in honour of the river Betwa.
