Deogarh Mahal Deogarh (Heritage)
About Deogarh Mahal
Deogarh Mahal is an imposing structure built in the 17th century. It stands
atop a hill and offers a commanding view of the Aravalli mountain range and
the numerous lakes, strewn across the countryside. With its greying battlements,
domes, turrets, jharokhas and huge gateways, Deogarh Mahal is a picturesque
sight from the town below. At a height of about 2100 ft above sea level, it
is cooler than surrounding Rajasthan.
Built in 1670 A.D. by Rawat Dwarka Dasji as a family residence, it soon became
the hub of village activity. The family interacted with the villagers and invited
a host of feasts and festivities to be performed within the Mahal precincts.
Some of these traditions are still practiced. And the gates, that always remained
closed, to ward off enemies, are now open to the guests Deogarh lies on the
borders of Mewar, Marwar and Merwara, about 80 miles north-east of Udaipur.
Its chieftain known as 'The Rawat' was one of sixteen umraos (feudal barons)
privileged to wait upon the Maharana of Udaipur, the capital of Mewar. Such
feudal estates, called thikanas were granted by the ruling Maharana to a nobleman
either due to blood relationship or for an act of bravery.
Deogarh is also renowned as a school of miniature painting. Some Deogarh miniatures
adorn the personal collection of the present Rawat Sahib. Frescoes of this art
form can also be seen on the fort walls. The Mahal also has some exciting rooms
to browse through - Sheesh Mahal - the colourful hall of mirrors, is just one
of them!
Deogarh Mahal was converted into a hotel few years ago by the present owner
Rawal-Nahar Singh. A part of the Mahal is still occupied by his kin.
The family is closely associated with the hotel and personally supervises and
monitors the on goings. The care is reflected in the minutest details which
have made Deogarh a benchmark of Heritage Hospitality in Rajasthan. Every guest
at Deogarh Mahal is special and is treated with the customary Mewari hospitality.

About Fort Madhogarh
Fort Madhogarh is situated 42 kilometers away from Jaipur off the Jaipur-Agra
highway (NH11). Madhogarh is a typical small Rajasthani town; even today communities
of potters, carpenters, cobblers, carpet makers, etc. can be seen playing their
trade in the centuries old traditional way. The town is dominated by the picturesque

with about 80,000 solders. The Maratha army also had a professionally trained
battalion under the command of the famous Maratha general, Mahadaji Scindia,
was forced to abandon the battle field and leave at night. The casualties numbered
in thousand. Even today in some fields in Tunga pieces of rusted equipment and
human bones are found.

of Thakur Pratap Singhji, has now renovated the Madhogarh Fort and converted
into a family run heritage hotel. Guests can now experience the famous Rajput
hospitality and relive the glory of a bygone age. Guest can enjoy a stay in
