Commuters stroll barefoot in puddles to stimulate wellness points.
Mumbai has introduced Rain Reflexology Walks, a health initiative encouraging residents to walk barefoot in monsoon puddles to stimulate reflex points. According to The Times of India, trained guides provide barefoot-friendly routes and instruction on proper reflexology techniques.
Participants report relaxation, improved mood, and novel engagement with urban spaces. Organizers provide protective mats, sanitation stations, and real-time safety monitoring. Critics question practicality, but enthusiasts highlight wellness benefits, fun, and enhanced community cohesion. Future plans include themed routes, interactive workshops, and competitions celebrating monsoon creativity.
