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.
