Visitors narrate personal or traditional tales under starlit dunes.
Rajasthan has implemented Desert Night Story Circles, nighttime sessions where participants share stories while exploring sand dunes under the stars. According to Hindustan Times, facilitators guide storytelling, ensure safety, and provide thematic prompts for creative engagement.
Participants report inspiration, reflection, and cultural connection. Organizers provide structured guidance, lanterns, and safety oversight. Critics cite desert hazards, but supporters emphasize immersive wellness, social interaction, and tourism enrichment. Future plans include collaborative stories, seasonal storytelling festivals, and public presentations for visitors and local communities.
