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 Devigarh
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 Devigarh
Palace Heritage Hotel, near Udaipur.
The mingling of the modern design with the age-old
heritage, gives a special touch to the palace
