India Travel Update 
One needs to go back in the erstwhile era as the history of Samode Palace is more than four and a half centuries old. ‘Samode’ was one of the endowments presented by the eminent seventeenth prince of the house of Kachhawah Rajputs, Prithviraj Singhji of Amber to his son named Gopal Singhji with the title ‘Rawal Saheb’. The murals and the imposing structure of the Palace will take you the splendid drive of the glorious past. It is indeed a wonderful place to discover as it offers overwhelming architectural gladness in form of flowering and non flowering plants tinted on the walls of the Sultan Mahal. Moreover, the dining room with its tarnished glass windows, its collected works of old family portraits, spectacular ‘Durbar Hall’ with tinted ceilings, complicated carved walls and striking chandeliers put on show the cultural allure of the Palace.
Samode is without a doubt a very small good-looking town built by the Maharaja of Jaipur Jai Singhs’ II Finance Minister is essentially a part of Rajputana grandeur. Tour to Samode involves a contented journey by railways, roadways or airways. The beautiful town of Samode is located 42 km in the northwest of Jaipur. The superlative appeal of Samode is Shekhawati style paintings that include enthralling paintings of Dewan - I – Khas.
Being built more than 400 years ago by Rawal Sheo Singhji, the architecture of the Samode Palace is modeled in the geometric style of the Mughal Garden. The members of the Samode family used to treat the place as a source of hilarity. They used to mount up the private moments by relaxing in the well-ventilated pavilions enclosed by rippling water fountains.
In the nutshell, the fort is erectly positioned on top of the palace and has 300 steps to climbt. Your visit to Samode is imperfect without stepping in the beautifully landscaped Mughal garden of Samode Bagh which is truly gorgeous. A Heritage hotel adjacent to the Samode Palace provides fabled Rajasthani hospitality to its guests where all the rooms are gracefully furnished with classy wooden decor.
