Nestled in the serene surroundings of Siolim in Goa, Oryza by Jaglax Homes is a luxurious gated community featuring five elegantly designed villas that redefine contemporary coastal living. Drawing inspiration from Australian coastal home designs, Oryza harmoniously blends tropical charm with modern sophistication to create an unparalleled living experience.
Oryza’s design ethos is rooted in minimalism, clean lines, and linear forms, creating striking facades that seamlessly integrate with the natural surroundings. The villas adopt an inward-looking ‘L’ shape, ensuring private views of lush gardens and serene pool areas. The use of large cantilevers, vertical louvres, louvered arches, and Georgian bar windows adds a distinctive character to each home.
Each villa spans three bedrooms and an attic across a ground + two-storey layout. The open-plan ground floor enhances connectivity between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, fostering an expansive and inviting ambiance. A standout feature of the living space is the sunken lounge, designed to offer an immersive experience by aligning residents at eye level with the pool and garden, further enhancing unobstructed outdoor views. Double-pitched roofs and expansive windows amplify the sense of spaciousness, bringing in an abundance of natural light and ventilation.
Oryza’s landscape design is an extension of its architectural philosophy, intertwining nature, structure, and interior aesthetics to create a serene sanctuary. Spanning a plot area of approximately 2,900 sqm, the community preserves nearly 60% as open space, encompassing lush gardens, pools, and thoughtfully designed parking areas.
The landscaping employs structured plantations and subtly curved elements to soften the overall design. Features such as niche seating in garden areas, outdoor showers with arch detailing, curved planter boxes at the edge of every pool, rounded pebbles, and strategically placed stepping stones harmonize with the broader architectural vision. These elements infuse the property with a sense of cohesion, tranquility, and understated elegance.
Oryza stands as a testament to refined living, offering a perfect blend of privacy, community, and architectural brilliance. By embracing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, the community offers an elevated lifestyle enriched by nature and contemporary design. For those seeking an exclusive retreat in Goa, Oryza is an embodiment of luxury, sophistication, and serene coastal charm.

Narwar Lakefront Resort, a luxury lakeside retreat in Shivpuri on the Sindh River in Madhya Pradesh, has introduced its ‘Summer Refresh Package’, offering a short yet refreshing escape for couples during the warmer months.
Designed as a 3-hour evening experience, the package runs daily between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. It brings together relaxation, wellness, and scenic moments, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a quick summer break without planning an overnight stay. Set against the calm lakefront and close to the Madhav Tiger Reserve, the experience combines both leisure and nature.
Navneet Sharma, CEO and MD, Lion Group, said, "With rising temperatures, the need for mindful cooling escapes grows stronger. Therefore, we have created an experience for guests to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with nature in the most refreshing and cool way".
The package includes access to the resort’s swimming pool, giving guests a chance to unwind with a refreshing dip during the afternoon. The experience is complemented by cold mocktails, fresh salads, and a selection of light and healthy snacks, keeping the overall offering simple yet enjoyable.
A key highlight of the package is the Morning Safari to the Madhav Tiger Reserve and a sunset cruise boating session. Guests can take in the changing colours of the evening sky while gliding across the calm waters, creating a memorable and peaceful end to the experience.
The Summer Refresh Package reflects the rising demand for short, premium experiences that offer a mix of comfort, wellness, and scenic beauty in a limited time.
The Forum Hotel & Convention has officially opened its doors in Ahmedabad, bringing a new scale of hospitality to the city. Launched on 29th April 2026, the property features 195 well-designed rooms and suites, and is seamlessly connected to the adjoining Wyndham Ahmedabad Shela, which adds another 192 upscale rooms along with wellness, dining, and leisure facilities. Together, the combined 387 rooms and suites strengthen Gujarat’s growing capacity to host large weddings, exhibitions, and corporate gatherings.
Spread across approximately 12,00,000 sq ft, the property is built to accommodate up to 5,000 guests, making it one of the state’s larger event-focused hospitality developments. Supporting this scale is a parking facility for around 1,500 vehicles, offering ease for high-footfall events in a fast-growing city like Ahmedabad.
The property brings together strong infrastructure and service to create a complete hospitality destination. Its event spaces include over 32 modern banquet venues, highlighted by a grand pillarless ballroom spanning 40,000 sq. ft. Along with this, conference rooms, meeting spaces, and a well-equipped auditorium with advanced acoustics make it suitable for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) activities. The ability to host multiple events at the same time adds to its operational strength.
Adding to the overall experience, The Forum Hotel & Convention introduces a range of dining and entertainment concepts. These include Aurii – a premium all-day dining restaurant serving global cuisines, +33 – The French Experience offering a unique culinary concept, and Risqué – a nightclub designed for vibrant nightlife. A fourth culinary concept is also set to open soon.
Speaking on the launch, Managing Director Mr. Kalpesh Prajapati said: “At The Forum Hotel & Convention, our vision was to build a destination that reflects the ambition and growth of Gujarat. This is not just about infrastructure or scale, it is about creating a place where people come together to celebrate, connect, and create memories. We invite everyone to come, experience, and make memories at The Forum, where every moment is designed to become a meaningful experience.”
With its scale, integrated design, and strong event infrastructure, The Forum Hotel & Convention is set to play an important role in shaping Gujarat’s hospitality landscape.

CaratLane – A TATA Product is making a strong presence across television screens in India with its latest Mother’s Day campaign featuring brand ambassador Yami Gautam Dhar. The campaign brings a fresh and emotional take on gifting, centred around the idea of celebrating mothers with diamonds as a symbol of love and gratitude, while also adding a thoughtful twist, gifting yourself a diamond too, because you are her favourite.
The campaign’s first two films gained wide visibility during the ongoing Indian Premier League, with placements across Star Sports and JioHotstar. This was further supported by regional reach through channels like Colours Tamil, Jalsha Movies and Star Utsav Movies, helping the brand connect with audiences across both national and regional markets. Released just in time for Mother’s Day, the campaign highlights the joy of choosing something special for mothers, along with a little something for oneself.
Shaifali Gautam, CMO – CaratLane, remarked, “As we return for our second season advertising on the Indian Premier League, the platform allows us to take our stories to millions of households across the country. This Mother’s Day, with Yami at the centre, we’ve focused on celebrating the emotion of gifting in a way that feels both personal and relatable. Because when it comes to a mother’s love, what you share is priceless and the pieces you choose to express it should feel just as special. At CaratLane, we believe that expressing love should feel effortless, and never out of reach.”
Built around thoughtful gifting, the campaign encourages customers to celebrate Mother’s Day with meaningful diamond jewellery. With initiatives like this, CaratLane continues to shape fine jewellery for today’s consumers, making it more personal, easy to wear, and suitable for every special moment.
