As work on the tent city begins, streets and boulevards are created, each of the groups are given an area of land to build upon and the construction begins. Most of the structures are built of bamboo and rope covered with canvas . There are many small tents everywhere with almost a million people living together. Very large tents used for meetings of hundreds or thousands. Some are the size of a large Convention Center. Power lines are put then on polls and water lines are laid down in ditches and buried over.
On both sides of the river bank there begins to arise a great city. There are shops and markets near each of the major intersections. Some groups are building elaborate entry ways with neon flashing lights. If you come to the Mela early you can see it change from an open river bank to a complete thriving city, it is amazing. (pictures will be here soon).
