“The inauguration by the Honourable Chief Minister reinforces The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace as a landmark in restoration with historical significance. We are confident that The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace will encourages a new set of travellers to visit Khajuraho and experience its world-famous temples, explore nature and wildlife at the Panna Tiger Reserve and embrace the unique cultural tapestry of the region.
