DEVI GARH FORT
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.
