Bigg Boss 17: After months of anticipation, the curtains finally lifted on India's favourite reality show. If you're wondering what it's like to live in a far-off land, you'll soon know through the journey of contestants. Continuing the course of dazzling the contestants and the audience, creative masterminds Omung Kumar B. and Vanita Garud have brought the aesthetics of a fantasyland to life for the newest edition of the show. The duo has incorporated the mantras of Dil, Dimaag aur Dum into the décor and ambience of the house. Let's take a tour of this majestic mansion!
Entering the master's kingdom:
The main gate of the house opens to a garden area that has been transformed into an enchanted backyard with an embellished tree overlooking a cosy seating area. A huge eye fashioned as a gyroscope, representing the universe and legacy of the show, is suspended above the pool. The doorway from the garden area to the living room is adorned with a spectacular winged horse sculpture and a coral reef-like archway.

What's cooking?
The kitchen will capture food-related discussions among the housemates and satiate the viewers' appetite for entertainment. Made with rustic materials evocative of nature, this bustling area features a large wooden table, bar stools, wooden worktops, intricately designed cabinets, vintage cutlery, décor items, and vases of exotic flowers.
The destination of drama:
The main entrance through which the contestants will step into the house is inlaid with mirrors; it opens into the living room. For the first time, the floor of the living area suggests a scenic European street and the architecture hints at different cultures across the continent. Ornamented with elaborate stone carvings, stairways, alcoves, and balconies, the living room has a sense of mystery and the flourish of a Victorian castle. The living area expands into three different sections with individual dining areas.
Make room for entertainment:
Painted in pastels of pink, lilac, and white, the first section of the house has an elegant façade made of stone and balconies inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Furnished with a luxurious bathroom, meditation zone, therapy room, plush sofas, and lavish headrests, this zone recreates the aura of a Parisian suite. With the play of light and shiny accessories, this area is decked with lamps, candlesticks, handles, frames, mirrors, carvings, and a trellis of roses. The star attraction of this section is a therapy room that has walls covered with Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The second section is designed mostly in wood and appears to be a chamber for thinkers. With a giant wooden hand and chess pieces fixed on the wall, this realm has a wisdom tree, a secret library, and many cabinets. Its walls are panelled with cyborgs and mystical creatures that echo the spirit of an ancient and modern world in equal measure.
Glowing in an eerie red light, the third section of the room has macabre furniture and decor. Everything from its floor to its ceiling is in shades of red and black. One of the bedposts in this territory features a statue of a black angel surrounded by black roses. The landmark element of this space is a vintage telephone placed amid multiple castles.
No sin is forgiven:
Resembling a realm of magic, the confession room is mysterious and dimly lit. Designed in a black and golden palette, this renowned room will witness the contestants in their vulnerable element. At its centre, the room features an upholstered throne crested with a winged lion. For the first time, this feared room has a balcony and a staircase.
The battleground of Vaar:
The iconic Vaar stage has been an arena where drama, glamour, and entertainment are in high gear. This year, it has been remodelled along the lines of a vintage train station with a huge, winged dragon holding the train.
The show will air from Monday to Friday at 10.00 pm and on Saturday and Sunday at 9.00 pm only on COLORS, with a 24-hour LIVE channel on JioCinema.
