Samode India

Situated at a distance of 56 km from Jaipur deep in the desert, against a background of stony hills lies the large sprawling Palace of Samode that stands apart in serene splendor amid rugged hills.

The Samode Palace, which belongs to the Rawals of Samode, is about 400 years old and has been converted into a comfortable hotel run by the family.
The house is built in the characteristic pattern of an open courtyard with rooms leading off the arched corridor that runs along all four sides of the building. The Sultan Mahal is on the first floor-an exquisite room with a marble pillared verandah. It has the famous Jaipur blue tile decorations. Every inch of the ceiling and the walls are covered with floral, paisley and geometric motifs painted in vegetable colours. It is called Sultan Mahal after the painstaking craftsman, who created it.
