<br/><br/>  In 2013  a team from Harvard University researched the large-scale event from its preparation to the actual celebration itself. This was the first systematic study on the Mela as a city : a planned entity and covers issues of social inclusion, diversity, and even democracy that emerge under the framework of neutralizing grid of roads that is the organizing armature of the city. <br/>The volume presents the comprehensive research findings and includes city maps, aerial images, analytical drawings and photographs of this spectacular Ephermeral mega city for the Kumbh Mela.
