AR Rahman inaugurates world’s largest sound healing dome at Tulåh Clinical Wellness in Kozhikode
Kozhikode: Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman on Saturday, February 7, inaugurated the world’s largest sound healing dome, called the Sonorium, at Tulåh Clinical Wellness in Kozhikode
Rahman unveiled the immersive wellness space during a visit with his Indian classical ensemble JHALAA.
Describing the Sonorium as a “profoundly therapeutic” space, he said, “the sound vibrations are deeply healing. The stillness and purity of Tulåh naturally helps improve concentration, creativity and recovery."
Founded by Faizal Kottikollon, Tulåh Clinical Wellness worked together with Svaram, Auroville, to develop the Sonorium, designed on a seven-fold geometric pattern symbolising the seven chakras of the human body.
“The dome works like an instrument, seamlessly integrated with sound tools, bringing together ancient knowledge and modern science,” Kottikollon said.
The structure is designed to produce precisely calibrated acoustic frequencies that help relaxation, balance the nervous system and support the body’s natural healing process. The space will host guided sound therapy sessions, meditative immersions and specially designed wellness programmes led by international practitioners.
With increasing global interest in non-invasive and experiential wellness therapies, the Sonorium is expected to strengthen Kerala’s position as a key destination for sound healing and integrative wellness. Tulåh Clinical Wellness Sonorium will open for visitors and bookings from March 2026.
