Initially built as a Rajput fort in the 16th century, Samode Palace, located 40 kilometers north of Jaipur, was transformed in the early 19th century under Rawal Berisal. The subsequent expansion by Rawal Sheo Singh added the Durbar Hall and Sheesh Mahal. In 1987, it was converted into the heritage "Samode Palace Hotel," forming an integral part of the Samode heritage.
