[3] The story of Ram Raja Temple according to many local people goes like this: The King of Orchha Madhukar Shah Ju Dev (1554–1592) was a devotee of Banke Bhihari (God Krishna) of Brindavan while his wife Queen Ganesh Kunwari, also called Kamla Devi, was a devotee of God Ram.
It is believed that God Krishna and Radha personified and danced with them and golden flowers were showered from the heavens at that moment.
The king got annoyed and told the queen to stop praying child form of God Ram and accompany him to Braj.
The queen left the palace and started the long journey to Ayodhya on foot to bring God Ram with her to Orchha.
On reaching Ayodhya, the Queen started praying to God Ram close to Laxman Fort near Sarayu river.
The Queen fasted and prayed for about a month but God Ram did not appear, so eventually in despair, she jumped into the river at midnight.
The deity God Rama sat down on hearing this from queen (source Bhaktmal by Nabhadasji Maharaj).
It is believed when visiting the Raja Ram Darbaar if worshippers look at the left foot's big toe then their wish gets fulfilled.
