 Deogarh Mahal- An Abode of the Gods   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Room 204 – “Nahar Niwas” – is certainly old enough to have been occupied by Nahar Singh I (1821-1847), the heir adopted from another Sangawat family in Sangramgarh to succeed Gokuldas II who had no son of his own – but in fact it has always served as guest accommodation.
It is the room where Nahar Singh II and others played as children and – more relevantly – where they kept their pet parrots.
Unlike Maharana Bhim Singh and many other members of the Mewar nobility who seem to have been reduced to beggary by the Maratha raids, Gokuldas seems to have successfully resisted the Marathas and led Deogarh through a period of considerable prosperity.

And his decision to build the Hawa Mahal in 1799 is said to have been directly inspired by his happy memories of Deogarh.
