The Grandeur of Bundelkhand

Lalitpur Power Generation Unit (LPGU) is a thermal power generation complex situated in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh; a region steeped in history and replete with multitudinous nuggets which attracts the attention of populace both domestic and overseas.

This modern structure is situated near the historical town of Jhansi and generates 1,980 megawatts of power. Lalitpur Power Generation Co. Ltd., has synchronised its Unit 3 of 660 MW capacity. Three units of this gargantuan powerhouse are vitally critical to supply 'power' to this arid region of the state.

Come monsoon, this seemingly infecund and parched land metamorphoses into a verdant area. This mystery of nature perennially leaves one wonderstruck. How is it that the vapid and baked landscape, during monsoon and winter blossoms into a viridescent landscape?

Sandwiched between the super thermal power house and smaller stations on the way, is a detour to the town of Orchha.

The Ram Raja Temple is a sacred place for the faithful, situated in Orchha and attracts devotees in significant numbers regularly. Interestingly, this is the only temple in the subcontinent where Lord Ram is worshipped as a king.
