The excursion trips from
Udaipur will take the travelers to Deogarh. One of the most interesting places of interest here is the Deogarh Mahal. The grandeur of the palace is indeed impressive. It was built by the Rawats of Deogarh and is till date one of the most interesting tourist attractions. The Rawats were not exactly maharanas. They were feudal lords but their superb artistic taste is evident from the Deogarh Mahal. It was built in the 17th century.

As the travelers enter the mahal they will first come across a courtyard that will lead them to the Kacheri or the court. This was the place where justice was administered. The powers of the Rawats are apparent from such places. Beyond this place lies the painted area where some of the family shrines are located. The way leading to these shrines are established that there is no problem when numerous villagers congregate to pay their respect to the feudal lords.
The ancient monument in Deogarh presents a very different social structure in
Rajasthan. Neither the
Rajputs nor the Mughals ruled here. Rather it was the feudal lords who commanded total respect. On the first floor revenue and general administrative departments were located. Today, however, the mahal has been converted into a heritage hotel. Besides the Deogarh Mahal there are also Seengh Sagar Fort and Deograh Khayyam. Both these places offer accommodation units to the travelers.
