 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.
