Geography & terrain

Samode lies in the Jaipur district of Rajasthan, 40 km from Jaipur and 25 km from Shahpura — the palace village of the region, its 17th-century palace, the Sheesh Mahal and the fort set on the Aravalli's edge.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the 17th-century palace era — the palace village of the 17th-century-era palace and the 1902-era Sheesh Mahal of the royal additions, with the village's modern role as the heritage stop of the Jaipur circuit and the home of the 17th-century-era fort and the 1902 mirror hall and the 2000s-era hotel life; the village's history of the 2005 film era and the palace stables and the village bazaar, gives Samode its palace character.
