Deogarh

Deogarh Mahal stands proudly atop a hill in the Aravalli mountain range amid charming landscapes and several lakes. Deogarh Mahal which is the main attraction at Deogarh was founded in the year 1670 AD by Rawal Dwarka Das Ji as a family residence. The palace gradually became an important point of village activities. The family interacted with the villagers and invited a host of banquets and celebrations to take place within the Mahal confines.

The Maharana of Udaipur had honored 'The Rawal', who was the tribal chief among the sixteen umraos (feudal barons). Fiefdom of such feudal estates in those times was conferred by the ruler to the nobles either due to a blood relation or for some act of bravery. Deogarh Palace was transformed into a heritage hotel by the present owner Rawal-Nahar Singh.Deogarh is situated on the boundaries of Marwar, Merwara, and Mewar about 80 miles north-east of Udaipur in the state of Rajasthan.
