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.

Karnataka Transport Dept uncovers alleged ₹37 lakh tax evasion involving Lamborghini in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: Officials of the Karnataka Transport Department have uncovered an alleged tax evasion case involving a luxury Lamborghini Huracan Evo in Bengaluru. The evasion was carried out with forged documents which were allegedly used to evade over ₹37 lakh in road tax and penalties, officials said on Monday.
According to a report published by The Indian Express, an anonymous email was received by the transport department on December 12, 2025, which alleged that using fabricated documents, H1 Car Care had fraudulently registered the high-end vehicle at the Kasturinagar Regional Transport Office (RTO). The additional commissioner (Enforcement) ordered an inquiry after photographs of the allegedly forged paperwork, attached to the email were examined.
A police complaint was filed by Senior Motor Vehicle Inspector Ranjith N at the Kodigehalli police station. The complaint noted that the Lamborghini, bearing registration number KA-03-NX-0016, was originally purchased by Harsha Infra Cons Pvt Ltd from a Lavelle Road showroom on June 1, 2022, for ₹3,00,68,729.
The vehicle was temporarily registered at the Electronics City RTO from June 2 to July 1, 2022. Later the company sought permission to register it at a Regional Transport Office in Hyderabad, Telangana.
Investigators discovered that the accused had allegedly created fraudulent documents. He stated that H1 Car Care purchased the same vehicle in September 2025, about three years after it was sold and registered to Harsha Infra Cons. The alleged purchase price was shown as ₹3,00,58,729.
An official quoted by TIE said that the forged documents reused the same invoice number that had originally been issued to the first buyer, which is illegal. Investigators called an authorized Lamborghini dealer during verifications, who confirmed that the vehicle was sold to Harsha Infra Cons. The dealer further claimed that the invoice dated September 1, 2025, was reportedly issued to H1 Car Care, however it was never generated by the showroom and seemed to be faked.
After reviewing the paperwork, the Kasturinagar RTO determined that the fake papers were utilized to achieve the illegal registration. Officials informed that the vehicle was also undervalued to evade road tax and penalties amounting to over ₹37 lakh accumulated over the three-year period.
Following confirmation of the forgery, senior transport officials ordered the immediate seizure of the vehicle. The Lamborghini was traced on February 7 and seized from Sahakarnagar, where it was found linked to premises associated with H1 Car Care.
