Royal Wedding in Davigarh |
About DeviGarh Nestled 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.
Location
Situated 26 kilometers North-East of Udaipur, Devi Garh is a convenient 45 minutes' scenic drive from the city. The fort, surrounded by lush green fields and mountains on three sides, overlooks the village of Delwara and is close to the temples of Eklingji and Nagda. The combination of a traditional Rajasthani village, the towering fort and the temples, makes for an interesting mix.
Udaipur is easily accessible via air from Delhi or Mumbai, with convenient road and rail connections too. Local taxis are easily available from the airport or train station to transport guests to Devi Garh. Alternatively the hotel can organise a car to pick up the guests upon their arrival at Udaipur, if they so desire.

It is also the most spacious suite with a large bedroom, bathroom, sitting, dressing and dinning areas.
The Devi Garh suite and this Aravali suite share a common, private, black marble swimming pool. The two bedrooms are available together or individually.
The concept behind the design philosophy of the Devi Garh suite is that of 'Shiv' and 'Shakti' - the male and female energies, embodied in Shiva, the Hindu God of destruction, and Shakti, the Goddess who personifies power and the destruction of evil. An integral part of the concept is the image of the bull Nandi, the 'vahana' (vehicle) of Shiv and also a devotee of the god.

The Aravali suites are the most spacious, bright and tastefully designed suites. They offer complete privacy and have the spectacular view of the Aravali hills. They are in total four Suites all interconnecting with the courtyards having a sculptural element or a water body.

Garden Suite
The Garden Suites at Devi Garh each have their own private lobby, garden, tented terrace, and overlook a vivid rectangular field of flowers.
In each of the suites, the décor (based on local green marble) brings the serenity and beauty of the garden inside. A carved marble tree of life surmounts the headboard of the bed, adding to the effect of a garden within the room.
Tents
Traditionally Rajputs were known for their constant forays into the wilderness – either to wage war or on hunting expeditions. Setting up of portable tents became one of the most important rituals, giving order and stability to their nomadic lifestyle.
For the adventurous traveler of the 21st century who is looking to be closer to nature, Devi Garh provides 6 tents at the foot of the Palace, as an option. These tents erected from October to March, recreate the desert sky on the cloth ceiling with patterns of clouds and stars (made up of shimmering mirrors). In order to match comfort levels with modern day lifestyles, the tents are provided withelectricity, heaters and fans, telephone connection and an attached marblebathroom, with running water.

Udaipur, a mere 40 minutes’ drive away, is considered one of the most beautiful cities in India, and was the last capital of the state of Mewar. Founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai Singh on the bank of lake Pichola, Udaipur is a city of palaces, gardens and lakes. The Lake Palace and the beautiful City Palace (part of which has been converted into a museum housing the largest collection of crystal in the world) are just two of Udaipur’s main attractions.
City Palace: The City Palace stands on a hill on the banks of Lake
Pichola, and was founded in 1567. It is a conglomeration of buildings composed of 4 major and several minor palaces forming a single façade. Visit to the City Palace is strongly recommended. A complete tour takes approximately 3 hours.

Sajjan Garh Built in the 18th Century by Maharana Sajjan Singh as an observatory for monsoon clouds, also known as the Monsoon Palace, Sajjan Garh is located atop a hill called Bansdara overlooking Lake Pichola dominating the city’s skyline. Sajan Garh is surrounded by wooded hillsides, which were once aroyal hunting ground, and has a breathtaking view of the city, the surrounding lakes, rivers and the Aravalli Range. The Palace building is currently used by the Government of India and is a restricted security area. The hillside leading up to Sajjan Garh is a wildlife sanctuary. A visit to Sajjan Garh is recommended since it is an excellent place to view the sunset. Some sections of the road are however very steep and narrow so caution is advised.
Sahelion Ki Bari Maharana Sangram Singh built this garden for his daughter and the ladies of the Queen’s Cout. It is said that he wished to recreate the monsoon for his daughter, who had been confined to bed due to a long illness. The garden has numerous fountains in four pools embellished with delicately chiseled pavilions and elephants. The fountains still work on the unique hydraulic system devised in 1700.
