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