A fire at a Rajasthan desert resort destroyed five luxury tents, no deaths reported, cause under investigation.

A fire destroyed five luxury tents and damaged others at a resort near Rajasthan’s Sam Sand Dunes late Thursday, with strong winds causing rapid spread. The blaze, which broke out during a cultural program, prompted a safe evacuation of tourists as most were outside their tents. No casualties were reported, but the cause remains under investigation, with a short circuit suspected. Local residents and staff used sand and water tankers to help control the fire until firefighters arrived. The incident highlights ongoing fire safety concerns in the region’s nearly 150 desert resorts.
