Participants walk illuminated dunes while sharing personal and traditional narratives.
Rajasthan has introduced Starlit Desert Reflection Circles, nighttime guided walks where visitors traverse dunes illuminated by lanterns while reflecting on personal stories and cultural narratives. According to Hindustan Times, facilitators provide structured prompts, safety measures, and guidance for immersive engagement.
Participants report inspiration, mindfulness, and cultural connection. Organizers ensure lantern placement, interactive exercises, and safety supervision. Critics cite desert hazards, but advocates emphasize wellness, creative enrichment, and tourism engagement. Future expansions include collaborative storytelling, seasonal events, and public exhibitions.
