JAIL & SPLENDOUR

Jail and splendour are hardly synonymous, yet the G20 delegates in Goa were given a dose of Goa's rich biodiversity during their official engagement at the newly renovated 17th Aguada Jail Complex.

THEME NIGHT

The event was expertly curated by a team at Aguada in collaboration with National Institute of Design (NID) alumnus Kritika Malhotra and the theme was ‘Goan Monsoon Forest’.

IMMERSED IN NATURE

An immersive experience, the function was brought to life through video projections, sounds of the rain, birds chirping, forest sounds and gushing waterfalls.
