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.
