Fort Chanwa Luni is an
exceptional example of elegance and symmetry in Indian architecture, built
by maharaja Dallip Singh over a hundred years ago.
The entire fortress is carved out of the famous red sandstone of Jodhpur
and with its ornately carved lattice work friezes and intricate Jharokas,
it exquisitely captures the romance and grace of a bygone age.
The
fort has been beautifully restored to its former glory and each room has
been created and decorated with its own particular charm and me many
courtyards, verandahs and gardens all offer a setting and ambience set to
capture your heart.
In the year 1948 Chanwa
was granted in "Jagir" to
Maharaja
Dalip Singh, the youngest son of Maharaja Umaid Singh, However over the
years the Fortress sank into years of neglect and decay. In 1992 inspired
by a wave of successful restorations to heritage properties and encouraged
by the burgeoning tourism traffic into western Rajasthan Maharaj Dalip
Singh, the 24th generation of direct descent from Rao Jodha, ruler and
founder of Jodhpur in the 15the century decided to throw open the gates of
Chanwa to these new 'invaders". Today Fort Chanwa restored to its
pristine glory and charm by its proud owners Maharaj Dalip Singh &
Rani Madhu Devi, warmly welcome travellers from distant lands offering
princely hospitality in an inimitably enchanting setting- a Heritage Hotel
in the finest traditions.
