Samode according to the Rajputana Gazetteer of 1879
was a large and flourishing town. The Zamidars (landlords)
of Samode the principal thakurs of the state of
Amber were the Nathawat clan from Chomu, a branch
of the house of Amber, tracing their relation to
the Jaipur Maharaja the fabled Prithviraj Singhji
the 17th prince of the house of Kacchwaha Rajputs.
Gopal Singhji one of his 12 sons was awarded Samode,
a noble feudatory of the Amber & Jaipur principality.
It was among the wealthiest territories in the Amber
kingdom. The Zamidari eventually passed within the
clan to the hands of Behari Das, a Rajput warrior
in Mughal Service. After 6 generations in the hands
of his descendants Samode was relinquished to the
Raj.
