According to Hindustan Times, facilitators provide guidance, storytelling prompts, and safety oversight for immersive cultural engagement.

Participants report inspiration, mindfulness, and cultural connection. Organizers provide structured routines, lantern placement, and interactive storytelling elements. Critics cite desert hazards, but proponents emphasize wellness, creativity, and tourism enrichment. Future expansions include collaborative stories, seasonal events, and public exhibitions for local and visiting audiences.
