Deorgarh
Deogarh is
famous for its heritage hotel, the Deogarh Mahal.
Deogarh is close to the Mewar/Marwar border
about 38 km. northeast of Udaipur; an estate of the Sangawat branch of the
Coondawat clan, descendants of Choonda's son, Kandhal who had four sons.
His first son was Siha, and his second was Sanga. Sanga's progeny came to
be known as Sangawats, first class nobles of the State (of the 1st 16
Umraos) whose jagir was Deogarh.
Built in 1670 on the architectural plans of
the Sompura architects, Deogarh palace has over two hundred rooms at five
different levels. The overall symmetry remains undisturbed despite a
plethora of balconies, windows pillars and staircases.One can enjoy the
beautiful murals and mirrors work in the castle. Only few rooms are open
to guests, regional cuisine is served in the opulent dining hall.
