N2  -  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. 
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.
