Devi 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. 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.
