About Deogarh
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.
