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, 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.
One of the most outstanding features of Devi Garh is its landscape design. Using traditional materials and motifs, contemporary designs have been created which embody the confluence between the old and the new. The raw materials used are all local, with white marble being used extensively throughout the palace. The two 12 feet high standing blocks of uncut white marble at the entrance are symbolic sculptural representations of the stone in its purest form.
Devi Garh, like any traditional Indian dwelling, revolves around courtyards; five, to be precise. Each courtyard blends classical and modern designs to achieve a fusion, which is peaceful yet intriguing. The kamal court is an interesting interpretation of the traditional lotus motif as a black marble water-maze.
Devi Garh, away from the stress of the city, is a perfect place to optimize your well-being. We aim to soothe your body, stimulate your mind strengthen your spirit. Make your holiday a complete one. Leave rejuvenated and refreshed with your individual self in harmony with the universal self.
