Overview
Samode is a village in Rajasthan, which belonged to the landlords known as ‘zamindars’ (in Hindi language) of the principal Thakurs of the state of Amber. It shot into prominence due to the Thakurs lineage traced to Maja Rajveer Singhji, the 17th prince of the house of Kacchwaha Rajput. Samode was bequeathed to Gopal Singhji one of his 12 sons, as a noble feudatory of the Amber and Jaipur principality. Samode was, even then, considered a very rich town under the kingdom of Amber.
