Frescoes in the Raja Mahal palace of Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, India

Orchha is located in the central region of India called Bundelkhand, in the middle of a plain crossed by the Betwa River. It belongs to the state of Madhya Pradesh, and in the city there are well-preserved remains of palaces and other interesting constructions.
In the Raja Mahal palace, the place of residence of the Bundela kings, we can see interesting fresco paintings dating from the 16th century and whose state of preservation, despite the abandonment in which the building is located, is quite acceptable.
In the image we see a scene in which animals such as an elephant or a crocodile are mixed with figures of various deities located in an idyllic landscape

The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is an African crocodile and the second largest extant reptile in the world, after the saltwater crocodile. The Nile crocodile is quite widespread throughout sub-saharan Africa, occurring mostly in the central, eastern, southern and some western parts of the continent and lives in different types of aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers and marshlands. Although capable of living in saline environments, this species is rarely found in saltwater, but occasionally inhabits deltas and brackish lakes. The range of this species once stretched northward throughout the Nile, as far north as the Nile delta. On average the Nile crocodile is between 4.1 metres (13 ft) to 5 metres (16 ft), weighing around 410 kg (900 lb). However, specimens measuring 6.1 metres (20 ft) in length and weighing 900 kg (2, 000 lb) are not uncommon. They have thick scaly skin that is heavily armored
