About Fateh Bagh |
Situated at Ranakpur, not far from Udaipur, Fateh Bagh Palace has a history as rich as the rest of the state. But certainly nothing about the palace is more unique than the fact that its
owner, Jitendra Singh Rathore, a hotelier and scion of royal Rajput family, decided to move it stone by stone, to a setting more suited to a heritage hotel. The magnitude of the task is awe-inspiring.
The palace was originally located at Koshilav, a small village near Ranakpur. A team of 50 including a civil engineer were selected to carry out the relocation. It took local artisans two years to
transport the 65,000 pieces of stone that make up the palace to a lakeside location at Ranakpur, famed for its beautiful Jain temples.
Today, its almost impossible to imagine that there was empty land where the structure now stands. The imposing 25,000 sq. ft. square shaped palace seems right at home in this picturesque town, it
majestic domes and arches, pillars and pavilions, courtyards and gardens, fusing effortlessly into the landscape. The Fateh Bagh hotel itself offers every facility and experience Rajasthan's hotels
are famed for, and is now part of Arvind Singh Mewar's HRH group. The four suites and 16 deluxe rooms are thematically designed, each unique. A sense of calm pervades, heightened by the emphasis
on all things natural. So you have a special Spiritual Cuisine menu that offers food prepared from organic, healthy ingredients; special spaces designed for meditation; Vedic theme rooms, and a library
well stocked with books including those on philosophy and spirituality. But luxury hasn't been discarded in the process - the suites have private jacuzzis, vintage car rides can be arranged on
request, and massages and spa facilities are all on call.
The architecture of Hotel Fateh Bagh is arresting, and a huge draw in itself. Starting at the entrance and adorning door, windows and walls are chattarpattas or floral motif crowns that the
noblemen of yore were allowed to carve when they had achieved some great feat. Fateh Bagh had 65 of these, reflecting the most intricate carving. Then there is the main hall that faces the front garden
and stands on 24 pillars and is embellished with 22 arches that is majestic in its scale and scope. Add to this the fact that every painting and fresco on the walls had first to have layers of colour
removed, and then lovingly restored at the new location, and you have something quite out of the ordinary. A palace that creates history even as it celebrates its own...
