TOP FIFTY HOTELS OF INDIA
Samode Palace - Samode
Deep in the desert, against a background of stony hills lies the large sprawling Haveli (palace) of Samode in the state of Rajasthan. On the scrubby hills around it one can see a couple of forts for which Rajasthan is famous. The landscape around Samode is painted in various shades of brown, burnt umber, gold, amber, and russet. Against this, the thorny kikar trees stand out greenish grey. What really dazzle the eyes are the colourful clothes of the people. On the way up from Jaipur one passes local women whose skirts swirl by in a fish of yellow, parrot green, hot pink, orange and turquoise. They walk by with an easy swinging gait, chattering like a flock of colourful birds. The men wear equally colourful turbans, sometimes in patterns of bandhini, which is tie and dye work or lahriya, a pattern of stripes. Even the camels are caparisoned with colourful embroidered saddle cloths and harnesses. Finally, the perfect touch of colors is added by parrots streaking past like bright green arrows. Peacocks flash a metallic turquoise in the sun. This is the landscape, a palette of colour through which the drive to Samode palace leads.
