THE ORNATE PALACE
40 kms northwest from Jaipur is the splendid Samode
Palace set amidst fairy tale surroundings. Its history
goes back more than four and half centuries. Prithviraj
Singh ji of Amber, the seventeenth Prince of the house
of Kachhawaha Rajputs, had awarded Samode to one of
his twelve sons, Gopal Singhji, along with the hereditary
title of Rawal Saheb. Nestled picturesquely amidst
rugged hills, Samode Palace with its stately grandeur
and frescoed walls is one of the most impressive small
palaces in whole of Rajasthan.
The palace is full of architectural delights - the
paintings on the walls of Sultan Mahal, the dinning
room with its stained glass windows, the Durbar Hall
with its painted ceilings and intricately carved walls.
The chandeliers give the palace its old world charm.
The Palace has a front lawn, terrace and boasts of
hosting number of incentives every year. Encircled
by hills, it is a refreshing treat with spectacular
landscapes. The 400-year-old palace has a wealth of
frescoes, many of them depicting religious subjects.
The ornate interiors are a fine example of the Rajput
haveli architecture.

| PRIME ATTRACTIONS |
GARDENS
Samode Bagh:
Built more than 400 years ago by Rawal Sheo Singhji, it
is modelled on the geometric style of the Mughal Garden.
Members of the Samode family came here to enjoy rare moments
of privacy and relax in the airy pavilions, surrounded
by rippling water fountains. A special feature of the
stay here is the accommodation being provided in the tents.
Meeting point at the Bagh is the elegantly furnished Durbar
tent. Dune coloured tents, all luxuriously furnished with
every comfort, the lawns, fruit trees, grape vines, and
the flowering shrubs make the stay here a memorable one.
Evenings come alive with local folk music and dances in
the magic of a camp fire. One can swim in the private
pool or take camel rides to explore the countryside. Other
entertainment activities available here include camel
safaris, a visit to the village and the Samode Palace,which
is just 3 kms away. |
