-
            Nasik will host the 2015 Kumbh Mela. Over 30 million visitors are expected to visit the Mela area during the 2 months Mela period.

The value of commercial transactions will range from INR1 to INR10,000/-, with the average transaction expected around INR500.

            The mela visitors would mainly be interested in lodging, boarding and puja articles. Donations are another area where cash will play a major role.
