History of 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. |
