Landscape & Courtyards
One of the most outstanding features of Devi Garh is its landscape design done in a modern and contemporary manner. Using traditional materials and motifs, contemporary designs have been created which embody the confluence between the old and the new. The raw materials used are all local, with white marble utilised extensively throughout the palace. The two 12 feet high standing blocks of uncut white marble at the entrance are symbolic representations of the stone in its purest form.
Devi Garh, much like any traditional dwelling, revolves around courtyards; five to be precise. Each courtyard blends classical and modern design to achieve a fusion, which is peaceful yet intriguing. The Kamal Court, is an interesting interpretation of the traditional lotus motif as a black marble water maze.
