Devra, Udaipur

Devra is a colonial style house built on top of a hillock in the lap of the Aravali hills of Udaipur. It overlooks the city of Udaipur and offers grand panoramic views of the Udaipur environs, once the scene of many a hunt and battle.

The City Palace and Lake Pichola lie to the east. The view of Sajjangarh Palace (The Monsoon Palace) set astride a tall hill towards the north is hauntingly majestic and beautiful. Lush green valleys stretch out to the south and west of the house. Rivulets flowing through them feed the lakes of the fabled Lake City of Udaipur.

The location of Devra is just 2 kms further west of Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur. Devra has the facilities of staff quarters, where drivers and other staff can stay comfortably. It can also arrange for airport pick-up and drop, city sightseeing, horse riding, bird watching, countryside trekking and evening folk entertainment.

Devra literally translates to 'where God resides'. In the local language, Devra means a tribal temple. A 400 year-old temple still stands at the site of Devra Udaipur

Historical Background
Major Durga Das and his wife Ms. Jyoti Jasol hail from very traditional, cultured and well-educated families of the Mewar and Marwar regions.

Ms. Jyoti is an Event Manager who provides that special touch to events for special people. Her firm 'Karni Karishma' designs and coordinates cultural programs for heritage properties. She has been a cultural consultant to leading international hotels, and also organizes lunches, dinners, theme parties, and corporate events with style and finesse. The Devra project is her passion and was envisaged and executed by her.
