Panna is extremely rich in waterfalls and picturesque landscapes. The main reason for this inherited beauty is its location, on Vindhyachal Ranges. According to a legend, the Pandavas spent quite a long time in the jungles of Panna during their exile. In fact the forest was once a game reserve for the royalty of Panna.

Pandav Fall:
Pandav Fall, the most exquisite waterfall in Panna, is situated inside the Panna National Park, very close to the national highway. It is a perennial fall funded by local springs and is easily accessible even during monsoon season. At the foot of fall there are some ancient caves overlooking a large pool of water. About 100 ft high, the fall has a beautiful picnic spot. Rippling forest with a long line of water separating it in the middle and creating wonderful sounds while at it makes your visit a truly memorable experience.

Gatha Fall:
Gatha fall is situated on the other side of the highway. About 300 ft high, the fall is very impressive and presents a very pleasant sight from the road itself.

Ken River:
The river is an excellent place to view aquatic predators, especially maggar and gharial, which can be spotted lazing around in the sun on the river banks.

The dominant architectural schemes of most of the temples are uniformly homogenous. After the declination of Mughal Empire, Muslim architectural wisdom appears in these temples. Marvels of Hindu and Islamic styles can be seen shared in the temples located here. Like the domes of these temples are both plain and onion shaped. Temples have 'kalasha' on top. Most of the tallest domes have lotus form.

Mahamati Prannathji Temple:
This is the most important temple of pranamies, which reflects their social and religious life, and it was completed in 1692 AD. It is believed that Prannathji lived here and will dwell here forever, and thus this highest Pranami tirtha became Mahamati's Punyasthali.

he Rang Mahal has eight pahals and each pahal has 201 domes. The spherical central dome is as per Muslim architecture and the lotus form on this dome is according to Hindu tradition. The glistering divine golden 'kalasha' is accompanied by the divine panja which denotes Mahamati's blessing and signifies the Aksharatita Purna Brahman. The main entrance of central dome is called Kaman Darwaza, made of silver. On Sharada Purnima every year, thousands of pilgrims and followers gather here to celebrate the Mahotsava.

Padmavati Devi or Badi Devi Temple:
It is located on the North West corner near Kilkila River and is said to be a very old temple. It is believed that Goddess Padmavati still lives here and protects the prosperity and happiness of the people of Panna. This temple therefore holds extremely religious and historical importance in their lives. For that reason, during Nav-Durgotsava thousands of devotees gather here to worship her.

Baldeoji Temple:
The architecture of this temple is in Paladian style, inspired from St. Paul's Cathedral in London under supervision of Mr. Manly, an Italian expert. The temple's structure recuperates upon the Romanesque and Gothic styles prevalent in Britain in the eighteenth century.

The temple consists of a large hall called maha mandapa with massive pillars and is built on a raised platform so that one may obtain darshan even from outside the main gate. The attractive image of Shri Baldeoji is built in black shaligrami stone.

Jugal Kishoreji Temple:
This is the main Hindu temple in Panna and was built in Bundela temple style. Nat mandapa, Bhog mandapa, Garbh grih and Pradkshana path are present in the temple. The attire of the Lord is not Brij but Bundelkhandi. It is said that the idol came to Panna from Vrindavan via Orchha. It is also believed that a pilgrimage of the four Dhams would render itself useless, if it does not conclude with a visit of the Jugal Kishoreji Temple. This temple hence, holds great importance for Hindu pilgrims and is visited by its followers in the world over.

Other Temples:
Ram-Janki Temple, Swamiji Temple, Sarang Temple, Baiji Temple and Govindji Temple are some of the notable temples in Panna, famous for their religious significance as well as their splendid architecture.
