Some places are beautiful. Others have a soul.
RAAS Devigarh is both.
Perched high above the village of Delwara 🏡, this 18th-century fort-palace is a masterpiece of restoration—where Rajputana grandeur meets contemporary minimalism. The white marble corridors whisper stories of the past, while the sleek interiors feel refreshingly modern. There’s an intimacy here that most palaces don’t offer. A sense of stillness. Of time stretching out.
Unlike Mihir Garh, a secluded retreat in the wilderness 🌵, Devigarh sits at the heart of an ancient village, making it ideal for a slightly larger gathering while still retaining an air of exclusivity. With just 39 suites, it’s spacious enough to host your closest family and friends, yet intimate enough that the palace feels entirely yours.
For couples who want a wedding that is personal, poetic, and effortlessly luxurious, RAAS Devigarh is more than just a venue. It’s an experience. ✨
• A Wedding at RAAS Devigarh 💫
There is a moment at Devigarh when the light shifts—when the golden sandstone glows at dusk 🌇, and the palace turns into a flickering dream of candles and lanterns 🕯️. When the sky stretches wide over the Aravallis, and it feels like the whole world has paused, just for you.
Weddings here feel intimate yet grand, regal yet deeply personal. The palace’s size means that even with a full guest list, it never feels overwhelming. Instead, it feels like you’re hosting the most beautiful celebration in your own private fortress.
The best part? You can take over the entire palace—every courtyard, every terrace, every suite—so that for a few days, this historic wonder belongs only to you and your loved ones. 🏰🎶
• Venue Spaces & Capacity 🎭
RAAS Devigarh offers a collection of stunning spaces, each with its own mood:
- Durbar Courtyard – A grand setting for your wedding ceremony or a candlelit dinner under the stars✨.
- Janana Courtyard – A breezy, open-air space perfect for a colorful mehendi or an elegant welcome lunch.
- Terrace Gardens – With sweeping views of the Aravalli hills, ideal for a sunset cocktail soirée 🍹.
- Poolside & Lawn – A relaxed, stylish setting for a high-energy sangeet or a leisurely post-wedding brunch.
- Sheesh Mahal – A room of mirrors, glowing in candlelight—perfect for an intimate, royal dinner. 🕯️
Devigarh provides a different kind of charm—one where a historic fort rises above a centuries-old village, blending exclusivity with a sense of place.
• Stay: Suites That Feel Like Sanctuaries 🛏️
Each suite at RAAS Devigarh is a world of its own.
Some have balcony-seat windows perfect for lingering sunsets 🌅. Others open to painted terraces where ring-necked parakeets flutter noisily. The Palace Suites are expansive and modern, offering a serene escape from the historic grandeur outside. The Aravalli Suites boast breathtaking views over the quiet countryside, while the Devigarh Complex—a lavish two-bedroom apartment—features a private sun deck and a black marble pool with a view that feels almost unreal. 🌊
For those who love the outdoors, the Garden Suites near the pool offer private terraces shaded by canvas umbrellas🌿. Though they trade the palace’s sweeping views for lush greenery, they remain a peaceful retreat.
• Dining: Where Every Meal Feels Like a Celebration 🍷🍽️
There’s something magical about dining at RAAS Devigarh. Maybe it’s the white-on-white restaurant, set in the fort’s upper pavilion. Or the terrace, where candlelit dinners unfold under a vast, starlit sky.
Menus here are eclectic and beautifully crafted:
- Breakfast moves with the light. One morning, it’s served on a balcony overlooking Delwara 🌄. The next, in a sunlit courtyard 🏡.
- Lunch by the pool feels refreshingly relaxed—a crisp prosciutto and parmesan salad paired with a cold drink. 🥂
- Afternoon tea arrives with finger sandwiches and clotted cream scones, a nod to old-world indulgence. ☕🍰
- Private dining experiences can be arranged anywhere—from a quiet veranda to the shimmering Sheesh Mahal.
It’s a place where you can sip excellent wine 🍷 paired with slow sunsets and candlelit whispers—where every meal feels less like dining and more like an experience to savor.
• Planner’s Take: Why We Love RAAS Devigarh 🤍
One of my first weddings was at RAAS Devigarh—back when it was simply Devigarh. And even then, I was in awe of it.
I still am.
There’s something about this place that stays with you. Maybe it’s the maze-like corridors that keep you curious, the tall stone steps that transport you to another time, or the way the palace feels both grand and intimate at once—like a large home hidden within a fort.
The venues are intriguing, offering a natural flow between celebrations. The rooms? Modern, not traditionally ornate, but done so beautifully that they feel like a respite from the grandeur outside. And then there’s the service—truly the highlight. Attentive, seamless, and quietly exceptional.
Would I plan weddings here again and again? Absolutely. Because RAAS Devigarh is not just a venue—it’s a feeling.
If Mihir Garh is about seclusion in the vast desert 🌵, Devigarh is about intimacy with a sense of place—a palace surrounded by history, where village life hums in the distance, and yet, within these ancient walls, time seems to stand still.
For couples who want a wedding steeped in history yet utterly contemporary, breathtaking yet deeply personal, RAAS Devigarh might just be the perfect match. ✨
And for us? We would love nothing more than to plan a wedding here again. To create moments that feel as timeless as the palace itself, to craft experiences that are uniquely yours, and to bring your vision to life within these ancient walls.
