One of the most important venues of India’s first war of independence in 1857 and the erstwhile capital of Rani Lakshmibai’s kingdom. Jhansi serves as the gateway to Bundelkhand region. Along with Jhansi, Panna, Orchha and Khajuraho are some of the prominent places which fall under Bundelkhand region.
The artistic grandeur of the Chandelas is still evident in the monuments and other ancient structures standing in the city. Apart from the historic fort of Jhansi, magnificent temples, churches,the Government Museum and the Rani Mahal, Jhansi is also home to a military aviation base (though there are no direct commercial flights to Jhansi).
The town has acquired great popularity with the starting of the week-long extravaganza — Jhansi Mahotsav. In February, the State Government also organizes a three-day vegetable and flower exhibition in Jhansi. Rapidly developing infrastructure has made Jhansi more accessible to most major parts of the country. ALSO SEE 10 homestays in India you wouldn’t want to check out of
