Not ideal if
- – Very large baraats needing 600–1000+ in a single open lawn (courtyard caps apply — confirm)

Room blocks & partner rates
Samode Haveli is a boutique heritage haveli, so the inventory fills fast and a full buyout is usually the right approach. Elite helps structure the buyout so close family stays inside the courtyards, plans vetted nearby heritage-hotel overflow, and keeps rates transparent — final room count and rates confirmed directly with the venue for your dates.
