From a fort to a palace
Initially constructed as a Rajput fort in the 16th century, Samode Palace underwent a remarkable transformation in the early 19th century. Under the nobleman Rawal Berisal, it evolved into an exquisite palace, blending Rajput and Muslim architectural styles. The palace’s symphony of intricate frescoes, delicate mirror work, and hand-painted murals adorns its walls and ceilings.
Delight is in the details
Step into a world where the grand architecture of Samode Palace reflects a harmonious fusion of Mughal and Rajput styles. As you wander through the palace, you'll be greeted by ornate frescoes, meticulously crafted mirror work, and beautifully landscaped Mughal gardens. The ambience is one of luxurious comfort, with elegantly furnished rooms, each boasting its own unique personality. Imagine four-poster beds draped in sheer fabric, exquisitely carved couches, and delicate floral prints that create an atmosphere of romance.
Enter the Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors), located on the southern side of the palace, where intricate mirror-tiled walls create a mesmerising effect, reflecting light and beauty around you. Then, step into the equally stunning Durbar Hall, adorned with extravagant hand-painted decorations. This serves as a ceremonial space for important gatherings and royal events, preserving the historical richness of the palace with its 250-year-old frescoes.
