| Tucked away
in the age-old Aravali hills of Rajasthan,
the 18th century 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.
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.
