The Nathawati family of Samode served as
Primeministers in jaipur's court , and their
four-century-old fortified residence some 40
km from Jaipur is able to exhibit the good
taste learned at the royal palaces in a more
restrained space. The darbar hall at samode
palace is one of the most beautifully
painted chambers in Rajasthan . Close by is
Samode Bagh, the garden pavilion with
charming water channels and ancient trees.
In Jaipur itself, the family built itself, A
town house, Samode Haveli, which typifies
the style of architecture than in
prevalence, including accessible public
spaces and restricted private spaces,
especially for the women of the family. The
paintings at the Haveli are every bit as
excellent as at the Palace, if a little less
profuse. All three properties are HOTELS.
