The Rann Utsav is scheduled from 11 November 2024 to 15 March 2025. Once upon a time, long ago, the light emitted from the Moon was the only source of light in this region. Experiencing the white desert at night used to be special. But currently, hundreds of Giant floodlights have been installed in the entire area,, which makes the moonlight barely noticeable. These lights are similar to cricket stadium lights during night matches. Now, you can plan for any date without worrying about the Moon.
