Devpur Darbargarh is a small fortress in the village of Devpur, that was built over 150 years ago and has withstood two earthquakes. A periwinkle blue structure with the palest of yellow beams; the sturdy, iron doors of which open into a mardana which means the general courtyard that runs a school, that was started in 1914 by the host’s father to optimize the vast site better. Walking around this homestay, sitting here with a Leo Tolstoy book or seeking blessings at the home mandir – all encompasses the experiences of a royal yet homely stay at this Darbargarh that is replete with interesting stories accrued over decades of royal history, and now, through housing travelers from across the globe who come here in quest of just that. Barely 3 minutes from Devpur Homestay is the beautiful a mango orchard farmstay, where travelers can choose to live for an exceedingly peaceful stay amidst innumerable mango orchards.
