The most popular of the rulers was Bir Singhju Dev who dedicated the Jehangir Mahal in honor of the great Moghal emperor, on his visit. The extraordinary beauty is in sharp contrast to an earlier building, adorned by colorful murals, known as the Raj Mal, which was built by his predecesor Madhukar Shah, within the same complex. Madhukur Shah was more religiously inclined and has significant contributions towards two prominent temples in Orchha, which have a very interesting background. He once had a dream that he should install the idol of lord Rama (a Vishnu incarnation at he brought from Ayodhaya. It was kept in a place, now known as the Ram Raja Temple which is the only temple where Rama is worshipped as a king. He then built a temple on a emissive platform, known as Chaturbhuj, where the idol was to be placed. It was decorated intricately with lotus emblems and other religious symbols. However the idol could not be moved

The King recalled too late, the deity's edict that the image would remain in the place where it first installed.
