What do you get now? I have been to the concerts before but not sure if I have been to the mela.
What is a mela anyway, googling finds some strange results.

What is a Mela?
Mela is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘to meet’, used to describe all sorts of community celebrations and festivals in the Asian subcontinent.
A long-standing tradition in South Asia, the Mela strengthens communities by bringing people together in a festival atmosphere where everyone can enjoy food, music and dance.

Mela and pomo are both used as Italian terms for apple, although mela is used more prominently.

I am interested to know how an out door music concert full of dope smoking p***heads was turned into an asian festival.
