The Deogarh Mahal is a magnificent fort a fitting
stronghold for one of its sixteen “umraos” - the most senior
feudal barons attending on the Maharana of Udaipur. Even so, you
might not necessarily guess that the Rawats of Deogarh once
ruled over the fourth largest jagir in the whole of Rajasthan.
At its most extensive, their territory comprised some 210
villages, with one of their defensive forts as far as 100 km
away. Yet there is little ostentation and even less gold to be
found in their palace. Like most of the Mewar nobility, they
spent too much time fighting to have much to spare for amassing
great wealth.
Accommodation
Deogarh Mahal has 50 Rooms ( 3 Royal Suites , 2 Studio
Suites, 23 Deluxe Suites ,22 Deluxe Rooms). Each room is
comfortably elegant with attached bathrooms fitted with modern
amenities.
All restorations and alterations on the Mahal were carried out
bearing in mind the old architectural style of the building. The
idea was to offer the weary traveller, the comforts of
today with an ambience of the past.
