SAMODE TOURS GUIDE
SAMODE HISTORY :-
Samode according to the Rajputana Gazetteer was a large
and flourishing town. The Zamidars or landlords of
Samode the principal thakurs of the state of Amber were
the Nathawat clan from Chomu, tracing their relation to
the fabled Prithviraj Singhji. One of his sons, Gopal
Singhji was awarded Samode, a noble feudatory of the
Amber and Jaipur principality. It was among the
wealthiest territories in the Amber kingdom. The
Zamindari eventually passed within the clan to the hands
of Behari Das, a Rajput warrior in Mughal Service. After
6 generations in the hands of his descendants Samode was
relinquished to the Raj. In 1757 the territory was
returned to the Nathawats. For the 1st half of it's
existence this palace was a little more than a fortified
stronghold in the rugged Rajput tradition. Only in the
early 19th century under Rawal Berisal did the castle
begin to take on the lavish aspects. He was an eminent
statesman and reached distinction as the principal
signatory of the historic 1818 treaty making Jaipur a
protectorate of British East India Company. He later
became Chief Minister of Jaipur and wielded absolute
power. Samode Palace began expanding during his reign
and continued under his descendant Rawal Sheo Singh who
was the Prime Minister of Jaipur state. He is credited
with the Palace's most fabulous addition - the
extravagantly florid had painted Darbar Hall and the
overlooking gallery forming the breathtaking Sheesh
Mahal or the hall of mirrors. Samode Palace was
transformed into one of the country's premium palace
hotels in 1987. It is a perfect example of Rajput-Moghul
architecture and is built on a small hillock, planned in
a progression of courtyards of increasing height. On a
hill immediately above the palace is the Samode Fort,
the family's former residence accessible in times of
trouble by an underground passageway. 300 steps replace
the original stone zigzag path. Though the fort itself
is dilapidated, the view from its ramparts is excellent.
