D evi
Garh Fort Palace, in the village of Delwara commands one of the three
main passes into the valley of Udaipur. Sajja Singh, who hailed from
the neighbouring state of Gujarat, was awarded this strategically
significant principality, in recognition of his bravery and loyalty to
Maharana Pratap against the Mughal emperor Akbar, at the battle of
Haldighati (1576). The actual construction of the fort palace started
only in the 1760s, under Raghudev Singh II, with further additions
being made to the structure by the rulers who followed. The palace was
absorbed into the state of Rajasthan in the 1960s, and was
subsequently abandoned.
Today, after
years of restoration and reconstruction, Devi Garh has regained its
past glory. An imposing and impressive structure, it is now a unique
all-suite boutique hotel, with 23 suites and 6 tents. Devi Garh
stands, quite literally, in two worlds: the traditional and the
modern. Its ambience is an eclectic mix of skillfully crafted designs,
both old and new, functional and purely aesthetic. Local materials
like marble and semi-precious stones have been used in contemporary
designs to create an elegant beauty. Personalized service complemented
by a wide range of modern facilities goes towards making Devi Garh a
comfortable and attractive retreat.
