Devigarh Fort Palace of Rajasthan is situated at a
distance of approximately 28 km from Udaipur. It serves as one of the
three corridors that lead to the city of lakes, Udaipur. Dating back to
the 18th century, this fort palace stands enveloped by the massive
Aravalli range of Rajasthan. This important principality was bestowed to
Sajja Singh of Gujarat in recognition for his valiance and loyalty. He
stood by Maharana Pratap Singh against the Mughal emperor Akbar, at the
battle of Haldighati (1576) and was honored by the award of Devigarh.
However, the construction work on the fort palace got underway only in
the 1760s, under Raghudev Singh II.
After the initial construction, successive rulers made many additions
to the Devi Garh Fort Palace. After merging into the state of Rajasthan
in the 1960s, the palace was later abandoned. However, after years of
restoration and reconstruction, it has now been converted into the Devi
Garh Palace Heritage Hotel, near Udaipur. The mingling of the modern
design with the age-old heritage, gives a special touch to the palace
hotel. Devigarh Palace Hotel of Rajasthan is a unique all-suite boutique
hotel. A stay in this heritage hotel will bring you all the comforts of
a hotel, while, at the same time, giving a taste of the rich royal
legacy of the state.
