        abstract = {We like to cherish our holidays in an exotic space with a natural waterfall, streams of clean water carrying colorful fish, greenery, mountains, and, exotic animals that we do not see usually in our urban and semi-urban surroundings. What if you find all these extremes of enjoyment at the same place? Not only that, these sites are also accompanied with modern forms of enjoyment, food, and shopping malls. The modern urban development of simulated sites of enjoyment brings the answer. The majority of the population belonging to middle and lower classes now can savor exotic vacations, albeit momentarily. The present paper will try to understand the very process of simulation and its impact on the society at large. Here, Royal Melo at Vadodara will be taken as a case to understand the non-virtual simulation and people’s response to it. The paper will try to evaluate the relationship between the reality, signs, and society using Baudrillard’s ideas of simulacra and simulation (Baudrillard 1994). The representation of exotic and redefining the enjoyment are two most important aspects here and this paper will attempt to understand the process of semiosis both in real and mediated worlds.},
