Samode Palace, Jaipur
Samode, Jaipur, India
"Samode Palace is a magnificent 475-year-old heritage palace set in the Aravalli hills about 40 km from Jaipur, famed for its mirror-work Sheesh Mahal and frescoed Durbar Hall — an intimate, intensely photogenic royal Rajput wedding venue."
Tucked into a fold of the Aravallis in Samode village, roughly an hour from Jaipur, Samode Palace is one of Rajasthan's most cinematic heritage wedding venues. Built over 475 years ago and lovingly restored, the palace dazzles with the mirrored Sheesh Mahal, the hand-painted Durbar Hall, terraced courtyards and a grand staircase that has featured in films and fashion shoots. With 43 individually designed rooms and suites, it suits intimate-to-mid-size royal weddings that crave authenticity over scale.
