Learn About the History of RAAS Devigarh
Formerly known as Delwara Fort Palace, RAAS Devigarh’s roots trace back to the year 1576 when the principality of Delwara was granted to Rajrana Sajja Singh and his brother, Ajja Singh, in recognition of their service to Maharana Pratap of Mewar after the Battle of Haldighati. Completed in 1760 under the rule of Rajrana Sajja Singh II, the palace was originally constructed using locally mined marble, a tradition honoured during its restoration.
Today's palace-fortress stands as a testament to the bravery and loyalty of its original benefactors. Evolving with the modern era, it has been transformed into one of the region's most spectacular luxury travel destinations. The restoration, a monumental effort by a team of 750 individuals over nearly 15 years, culminated in the reopening of Devigarh in 1999. Welcoming visitors with a blend of new-world comforts and old-world charm, RAAS Devigarh continues to narrate its rich history in the language of timeless elegance.
