A Timeless Chapter of Rajasthan

Built in 1675 by Darbar Devi Das Ji of the Rathore dynasty, Fort Barli was a stronghold of power and protection. Over time, neglect set in with the decline of royal patronage, but the 16th-generation heirs have lovingly restored it. Its frescoed walls, antique decor, and grand halls echo Rajputana stories, offering guests a rare, personal connection to Rajasthan’s heritage.
