Devi Garh Palace

Devi Garh Palace

Palace is situated in the Aravalli hills. The principality of Devi Garh was awarded to Sajja Singh by Maharana Pratap in recognition of his loyalty and bravery to Maharana during the battle of Haldi Ghati in 1576. The fort was constructed in the 1760s under Raghudev Singh II. The rulers followed Raghudev Sigh further added new structures to the fort palace. Today Devi Garh Fort Palace is a fine hotel resort that comprises 30 suites and 8 tents. The hotel is well furnished and a lot of emphasis has been laid on the design and detail. The use of local marbles and semi-precious stones is clearly visible in the palace. Devi Garh is located 28 km north east of Udaipur and is just 45 minutes drive from the city. 

Overlooking the village of Delwara, the fort is surrounded by lush green fields and mountains on three sides. The hotel is located close to the temples of Eklingji and Nagda. The landscape of Devi Garh is dotted with traditional Rajasthani village, the towering fort and the temples, which present an interesting mix.

The principality of Delwara was given out to Raja Sajja Singh, one of the lieutenant of Maharana Pratap, after the 'Battle of Haldighati' in 1576 . First a rudimentary palace was built by Raghudev Singh II, which was later revamped a few years later in 1760s for a royal visit of the Maharani of Udaipur. The seven-storeyed hilltop fort palace in Rajasthani architecture was built in the 1760s
