This is the largest congregation of faith and can be considered as one of the biggest religious events on our planet earth. A dip in the holy river during this period is regarded as very auspicious and believed to purify one's soul and lead to the righteous path. The Mela begins on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti that falls on 14th January and draws to close around mid April. It draws millions of pilgrims over the course of this period including Ascetics, Saints, Sadhus, Sadhvis, Kalpvasis, and foreigners from various countries of the world. In the holy city of Hardwar, on the bank of sacred river Ganga, Kumbh Mela, was successfully organized in the year 2010. Managing millions of pilgrims in a small city was an arduous task due to geographical and other hurdles. As a Chief Minister of State Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" was instrumental in organizing the event successfully. The success of Haridwar Kumbh congregation was highly appreciated on various fronts and won several accolades including a nomination for the prestigious Nobel prize. Taking cognizance of the repeated demands from India, UNESCO has declared Kumbh congregation as a world cultural heritage event that is attended by millions of believers of Hindu faith in disciplined and peaceful manner. For this reason, Kumbh 2010 came into the limelight once again, when people were overwhelmed with joy at the sensitivity of the "Nishank" Government to facilitate their needs. This book is inspired by a lecture in ISB Hyderabad where the students, faculty, and the director unanimously vouched for the idea that the story of this festival and its management should see the light of the day and be known to the whole world. Organizing this mega event required various innovative measures and enormous strategic planning and the same need to been shared. The idea is that this present book on the managerial perspective of the Kumbh will benefit all those interested in India's glorious traditions and will be fruitful for all the stakeholders who are involved in organizing mega-events like Kumbh.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Today the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, India, is a major Hindu religious pilgrimage and the largest religious gathering in the world. In 2001, according to the government of Uttar Pradesh, 30 million pilgrims were drawn to the confluence of the rivers Ganga and Yamuna on the most auspicious day for bathing. In an impressive feat of organization and administration, the first mela of the new millennium was managed to the overwhelming satisfaction of most, with an impressive health and safety record. The loudest complaint had to do with the intrusive presence of the media. Journalists, largely representing foreign media outlets, had swarmed to the mela, intent on broadcasting to a global audience sensational images of naked (or wet-sari-clad) Indians taking part in "ancient" religious rituals. Resistance to foreign interference with the mela has roots that go back 200 years. The British colonial state and the colonized had different ideas about what the Kumbh Mela represented: for the former, it was a potentially dangerous gathering that demanded tight regulation and control, but for the latter it was a sacred sphere in which foreign domination and interference were intolerable. In this book Kama Maclean examines this tension and the manner in which it was negotiated by each side. She asks why and how the colonial state tried to manipulate the mela and, more important, how the mela changed as Indians responded to the colonial power. In recent years many scholars have emphasized the extent to which the Kumbh Mela has been monopolized by the Hindu nationalist movement. Maclean seeks to situate the history of the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad within a much broader context. She explores the role of a pilgrimage fair like the Kumbh Mela in disseminating ideas, particularly political ones like nationalism and ideas about social reform. Kama Maclean tells the mesmerizing and important story of the Kumbh Mela with exciting detail as well as careful scholarly attention, illuminating for the reader the full scope of the event's historical and socio-political context.
