In a quaint district named Pali, nestled beautifully on
the banks of the River Bandi, just 35 km from Jodhpur.
the Fort is famous for the 1857 mutiny in Rajasthan that began
from Auwa when various Thakurs of Pali region
confronted the British.The fort has seen a lifetime of wars, the battle scars still visible in bullet ridden walls; the fort heralds a history 1000 years old. 
 The architecture of
the fort is an unusual mix of pre-Mughal traditional Hindu sculpture
with Neo-Colonial, Indo-Saracenic style. 


The old fort is embellished
by decorated surfaces, and horseshoe, pointed, and multi-foil arches, spires
and minarets in a magnificent manner.Untouched by the pace of modern times, here kids hum latest
Hindi songs yet fly kites, women wear long ‘ghunghats’ and swing babies in
cloth ‘palnas’, men make potteries to earn a living and villagers bow heads in
reverence to greet the royal family. It’s not the Rajasthan you know, its
offbeat, its forgotten Rajasthan. You may not find a BMW here, but you will
surely get to see the vintage Buick. It’s a place where the relics of 1857
mutiny (first war of independence) are still preserved and the forgotten tale
of extreme sacrifice for human freedom by the unsung heroes of the Satyagraha
movement  in Rajasthan (1643) are still recalled by the locals who take
pride in it.  
 
V Resorts – Fort Auwa, standing tall in the rich soil of
innocence, sacrifice, valor and reverence called Auwa, a quaint village in
Pali district of Rajasthan. With 19 comfortable rooms available to guests
as well as a lavish dining area serving authentic mouth watering Rajasthani
cuisine, Fort Auwa narrates forgotten tales of the majestic Rajasthan. As you
enter the courtyard there is a steeple in the middle and it is surrounded by
old historical ruins which give you a fleeting glimpse of times gone by. It
offers the discerning traveller an aesthetic peaceful retreat. Create your own
memories here, watching the sunrise and sunset on old stone walls; celebrate
tranquillity in this land marked by history. It’s a magical fairy tale setting
and a near perfect historical destination.
